50 Days of Lights

About the Event

With two grand tree lighting ceremonies, a half-million holiday lights, dazzling decorations and holiday activities, French Lick Resort is where the spirit of the season comes alive. We hang on to that holiday magic as long as possible, so our lights and decorations stay up into early January.

Schedule of Events:

November 16 - December 14

Letters to Santa

Complimentary

Visit us for your chance to write a letter to Santa! But hurry — the North Pole is a long way away, and it takes time to get there. Drop your letter in one of the holiday mailboxes by December 14, and we’ll make sure it gets to the North Pole for Santa to mail a response to your home in time for Christmas. Find the letters and holiday mailboxes at French Lick Springs Hotel, West Baden Springs Hotel and the Activities Center.

November 24 - January 6
