Light up the Lake Christmas Festival

Lake Charles welcomes Scrooges and Tiny Tims alike for parades, fireworks, concerts, crafts, a gingerbread house contest, and Santa appearances, followed by Santa’s Workshop activities and concerts at the Civic Center. The day continues with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony and a lighted boat parade, followed by a whiz-bang closeout with the Light Up the Lake Fireworks display over Lake Charles! visitlakecharles.org.
