Edaville’s Reimagined Holiday Festival of Lights Opens, Featuring Train Rides, Ice Skating, and more!

New England’s favorite holiday tradition is back and better than ever. The Edaville Entertainment Venue has transformed its grounds for the annual Holiday Festival of Lights, running every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from November 28 through December 28, 2025.

This year's festival is a reimagined experience designed to create lasting memories, blending the classic appeal of the train rides through dazzling lights with an array of new seasonal experiences, gathering areas, and festive entertainment for all ages.

A Warm and Wonderful Transformation

While the heart of the event remains the beloved historic train ride winding through over 100,000 holiday lights, the venue has undergone a full festive transformation. Guests will find new comfortable gathering spaces, an expanded artisan marketplace, and on-theme experiences tailored for families to explore and adults to unwind.

Aimée Sedley, Producer & General Manager at Edaville Entertainment Venue, expressed the excitement surrounding the refreshed event. “We, here at Edaville Entertainment Venue, are thrilled to continue the tradition of joy and magic of the holidays with a reimagined Edaville Holiday Festival of Lights,” she said. “From the historic train rides... to horse drawn carriage rides, ice skating under the starry sky, fabulous food and beverages, live entertainment and a visit to our new 21+ Jingle Bar, it will make you want to stay and enjoy all day or night.”

The atmosphere is set from the moment guests arrive, featuring strolling carolers, interactive shows, and evening light shows set to seasonal music. Adults can enjoy seasonal libations in the must-see, lavishly decked out Jingle Bar, a new spot exclusively for the 21+ crowd.

Ticket admission includes ice skating with free rentals, pictures with Santa, horse-drawn carriage rides, and live entertainment across three stages, ensuring each visit is special.
