Holiday Light Show 2011

A million lights. A priceless memory. A family tradition.

More than 1.5 million lights sparkle across Lake Coeur d'Alene as the Holiday Light Show, the largest on-the-water resort holiday light show in America, comes to life each evening during the holiday season.

Plan now to experience The Resort's "Journey to the North Pole". Ride aboard one of the Lake Coeur d'Alene Cruise Boats and get ready for a magical trip across the water to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus at the North Pole workshop, where every child is guaranteed to make Santa's "nice list"!

Highlighting the 2011 Holiday Light Show is The World's Tallest Living Christmas Tree on display at the North Pole! Laden with over 30,000 sparkling LED lights and rising to more than twice the height of New York City's famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, The Coeur d'Alene Resort's 161 ft. giant will be shining brightly in the crisp evening sky.

Bring the family. Bring the camera. Bring the smiles. We'll have brilliant lights and a festive holiday atmosphere waiting for you as we all share in the Christmas spirit. It's a family tradition...
