Dunwoody Parks and Recreation announces the return of Holiday Lights at Brook Run Park, now in its sixth year. This beloved tradition will shine even brighter with a brand-new Cosmic Wonderland theme. Opening night festivities kick off on Dec. 2 from 4 to 7 p.m., with Dunwoody City Council Members officially lighting the park at 6 p.m. This year’s display features 100,000 lights that will shine nightly in the park until 10 p.m. through Dec. 31. Reflecting the theme of Cosmic Wonderland, the 2025 display includes eight enormous, illuminated planets, a life-sized UFO photo op, glow-in-the-dark seesaws, a touch-sensitive light-up play floor, and a meteor shower overhead. The front field near the playground comes alive with a 30-foot Mega Tree, featuring more than 4,800 lights synchronized to holiday music in a 10-minute show. Nearby, giant illuminated snow globes provide cozy seating for prime viewing. Kids can visit Santa’s Rocket Launch station, where a 15-foot rocket, launch towers, and timed fog effects create the perfect lift-off.
