Lights 4 Hope is a Greenacres, Florida nonprofit that produces seasonal holiday events at Okeeheelee Park. Founded to support local families facing life-altering challenges, Lights 4 Hope stages large-scale light displays and community experiences that combine entertainment with charitable fundraising.
The organization’s flagship event is the annual Drive-Thru Light Show, now in its eighth year, featuring over two miles of animated and musical displays designed for vehicles to travel safely through a curated route. The Drive-Thru Light Show invites families to enjoy festive scenes from the comfort of their cars while contributing to a cause that assists neighbors in need.
In addition to the drive-thru, Lights 4 Hope hosts Bike Night, a special evening when bicyclists ride a two-mile stretch of holiday lights in Okeeheelee Park. Bike Night offers a unique, family-friendly way to experience the lights at a pedestrian pace, encouraging active participation and community connection.
Lights 4 Hope partners with local volunteers, park staff, and sponsors to plan logistics, lighting design, and safety measures for each event. Events are promoted to the Greenacres and Palm Beach County communities, with clear information about dates, routes, and entry procedures.
