The lights at Clasky Common Park in New Bedford (County and Pope Streets) are up and running. The extensive display includes Santa Claus and his sleigh in lights, the reindeer barn, many peeks inside Santa’s Workshop, and a display of Santa Clauses around the world.
On any given night, as soon as it is dark, you can count on hearing the excited voices of young children as they run through the pathways, discovering something new around every corner. The display will be lit every night through the end of the year.
