This year's 12th annual Rotary Lights features more than 1.5 million lights, a live nativity from Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod churches, a heated tent, free hayrides, live reindeer and visits with Santa.
More than 2,600 people from 78 nonprofit organizations help make the project in La Crosse's Riverside Park a reality. Admission is free, but donations of cash and nonperishable food are encouraged.

Santa is on duty from 5 to 8 p.m. daily through Dec. 23. Hayrides are available Dec. 12 and 19, and the live nativity still can be seen Dec. 16-17 and 23.
