Supporting Our Community Through the Gift of Light
The Lucy Depp Park Light Show has always been about more than dazzling holiday lights—it is about bringing our community together to make a difference. Hosted by Lucy Depp Park Northside, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the show has partnered each year with a carefully selected local nonprofit that serves the Central Ohio community. Throughout the holiday season, visitors are invited to make voluntary donations, with 100% of those contributions benefiting that year’s selected nonprofit organization.
Over the past nine seasons, the generosity of our visitors has helped support a diverse group of organizations making a meaningful impact throughout our region. From animal rescue organizations and programs that provide meals to children, to nonprofits assisting local families during times of crisis, every donation has helped extend the spirit of the holidays far beyond the light show itself. Together, our guests have transformed a beloved holiday tradition into a powerful force for good.
As we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Lucy Depp Park Light Show in 2026, we are excited to continue this tradition by partnering with another outstanding nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of those in Central Ohio. Every visit, every donation, and every act of generosity helps create brighter holidays and a stronger community for all.
