Peace, Love & Lights
Peace, Love & Lights has become a beloved holiday tradition in Sullivan County—festive, nostalgic, and full of the kind of warmth families look forward to year after year. Guests drive through miles of dazzling light displays across the historic Bethel Woods grounds, creating a magical, all-ages experience that draws visitors from across the region and helps support local businesses during the winter season. New additions like a drone light show on select nights bring a modern twist that complements the classic holiday lights with a signature Woodstock flair. The Holiday Hub adds to the experience with dinner, live music, and plenty of photo opportunities, while a full season of festive programming includes a Holiday Market, special walk-through nights, family singalongs, and Dinner with Santa. At its heart, Peace, Love & Lights is about bringing people together to celebrate community, creativity, and the spirit of the season.
