Christmas lights return to Central Florida’s Give Kids the World Village this holiday season! It all started in 2020 when the Village was no longer hosting families due to the world being shut down. The Village introduced Night of a Million Lights and it was a huge success. It took place in 2020 and 2021 at the Village and at Island H20 water park in 2022.
This year the 1.6 million lights return to Give Kid the World Village and they will be open to the public to view through VIP Guided Tours. These tours will take place on select nights throughout November and December.
