Annual Holiday Lights at Gring’s Mill Features Music, Trains and Reindeer

The Berks County Parks Department is busy setting up for the annual “Holiday Lights at Gring’s Mill” program that runs the month of December. Starting Thursday, December 5th park visitors can walk around the beautiful grounds of Gring’s Mill park, to view the spectacular light display highlighting the historic buildings and landscaping around the park.

After enjoying a walk-through light display, visitors can warm up in the barn by the fireplace listening to live music each night from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Kids can visit with Santa in the lower level of the barn next to our snack bar; and kids of all ages will love visiting the model train display in the former generation station building on the bridge.
