Willow Hill Lights Returns To Illuminate Northbrook This Holiday Season

NORTHBROOK, IL — Since 2021, a holiday light show has welcomed over 75,000 cars to Willow Hill Golf Course to celebrate the season. The Willow Hill Light Show returns Nov. 14, featuring over 2 million LED lights and 400 animated displays along a 2.5-mile festive route.

The show also doubles as a charitable opportunity during the giving season due to a partnership with Misericordia, the renowned Chicago organizations that supports children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

"Willow Hill Lights is more than just a holiday tradition; it’s an opportunity for our community to come together, celebrate, and give back," Susan Fraser, event coordinator, said. "We're thrilled to support Misericordia again this year and look forward to welcoming even more families to experience the magic and joy of our light show."

The show, located at 1350 Willow Road, runs through Jan. 4, 2026. Times are from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday. Tickets cost $40 per car, $100 per limo/bus. Tickets are available at willowhilllights.com or at the gate.
