HISTORY
The inaugural Holiday Fantasy of Lights (HFOL) event was in 1993, hosted, installed and operated by the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division and located at Tradewinds Park. The experience was a 1.2 mile drive with twenty six displays and tree lighting. The event was well attended and received positive feedback along with requests for more lights and larger displays. This launched the County's commitment to hosting one of the best holiday lights shows in the Country.
In 1994, the event featured a professionally designed and choreographed display program by Brandano Displays, Inc., the nation's leader in the design and engineering of large-scale holiday lights events. Further investment was made in a new power distribution system. The experience was increased to include over 40 displays, computer- driven animation and drive-thru displays throughout the park.
Over 3,000,000 visitors in over 700,000 cars have driven through HFOL since its inception. After so many years, major hurricanes, a recession and a global pandemic HFOL remains one of the most popular events of its kind and a nationwide model for the development of successful holiday light events.
Holiday Fantasy of Lights Drive-Thru is 3.5 miles long and features over 65 larger than life displays, multiple animation techniques, 3-D experiences and large scale spectaculars. The event is consistently one of South Florida highest rated and visited family holiday entertainment experiences!
