The ride is a charity ride for the Make A Wish Foundation.

One of the best family and fitness events of the season, Tour de Lights allows registered participants a private preview of Jolly Holiday Lights before the event is opened to the general public.

It’s a great excuse to get out of the house and benefits Make-A-Wish’s efforts to grant wishes to Iowa children with life-threatening medical conditions. There is a small entry fee of $5 per person ($7 after November 9th). Children under three are free. On-line registration open until 4:00 on November 16th. Please register at the event after this time.

Tour de Lights has expanded to two nights!

FAMILY NIGHT - - NOVEMBER 16TH
Start and end in Water Works Park! Walk, run, bike or stroll at your own pace!

FITNESS NIGHT - - NOVEMBER 17TH
Run/Ride a 1.5 or 3.5 miles from Water Works Park or an 11 mile roundtrip route from El Bait Shop! Bicyclists, skaters and runners come out! $5.00 (T-shirts available for $20.00)

Make wishes come true and start a new family tradition by going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year, Jolly Holiday  Lights. With all the profits going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the event remains the most charitable and well-known holiday light park in the Des Moines Metro Area.

Help illuminate the souls of children with life-threatening medical conditions and join us this holiday season.
