On Saturday, November 18, the much-loved, multi-colored display returns for the holiday season as Seven Falls celebrates the third annual Winter Lights event. More than 100,000 individual lights will line the path leading to the Falls, and colored lights will also adorn the cliff faces of the Pillars of Hercules, making for not only a festive atmosphere but also a photographer’s dream locale for holiday family photos.
