lights on the lake

It's the most wonderful time of the year. A time when Central New York transforms into a magical land with more than half a million Christmas lights.

Country Living compiled the 35 Best Christmas Lights Displays Across the Country. New York is home to three, two in the city and one in Central New York.

You know it's the holiday season when this Christmas staple makes it's return to Central New York.

The beautiful display along Onondaga Lake was supposed to close for the season Sunday. But now there's one more chance to see lights and help CNY shelter dogs.

To celebrate 30 years, new lights and a 5K run through Lights on the Lake have been added this year.
