Illumination to lighten up the holidays at Coca-Cola Park for a second year

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Coca-Cola Park will glow with holiday spirit once again.

Illumination will return to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs baseball park from Nov. 14 through Jan. 3, 2026 — this time, glowing more than before with 300,000 more lights to show for it.

"It was rewarding to see so many guests experience what were truly new magical holiday memories. Our guests commented on how they expect to return annually and make this a new holiday tradition. That energy sparked our desire to add significantly to the event this year."

"Our first season of Illumination was an even bigger success than I could have imagined," IronPigs President Kurt Landes said in a release.
