Newburgh Winterlights

Newburgh Winterlights presented by Diamond Valley Federal Credit Union.

Experience the wonder of thousands of lights along the Rivertown Trail from the Aurand Trailhead, across the red bridge, through the woods, and out onto the overlook. With more than 2x more lights than we had in 2021, this year's display will be sure to delight everyone in the family. This self-guided outdoor experience offers a safe and socially distanced family outing this holiday season.
