ELYSBURG, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Knoebels announced the return of its Christmas light experience ‘Joy Through the Grove’ this holiday season.

Joy Through the Grove, a Christmas light experience, will be open nightly beginning Friday, November 24 through Sunday, December 31, but will not run Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Guests will drive through two miles of the Christmas-themed light show, experiencing twinkling lights on over 500 illuminated pieces, and custom Knoebels-themed displays.

“Guests joining us this year will enjoy some brand-new scenes mixed in with fan favorites. We’ve enhanced many returning scenes, and are looking forward to debuting a new feature as you exit the campground area of the display,” said said Joy Through the Grove project lead, Jon Slodysko.

Visitors will enter through the main parking lot where souvenirs and treats can be purchased for the ride including fudge, cotton candy, and kettle corn.
