Adventure Lights Returns to Skypark Carlingford – Bigger, Brighter, and More Magical Than Ever!

Carlingford is set to sparkle once again as Adventure Lights returns for its second year at Skypark — running for ten weeks from October 25 to January 3.

Following the phenomenal success of last year’s debut — which attracted over 30,000 visitors and gave a welcome boost to the local economy — Adventure Lights is back, bigger, brighter, and set to cast Carlingford in a whole new light.

This year’s event invites families, groups, and adventurers of all ages to step into the magical Legends of the Forest, where over half a million lights, 16 dazzling displays, and an expanded Kids’ Adventure Zone will transform Skypark into one of Ireland’s most unique winter wonderlands.

Visitors can expect brand-new illuminated figures, interactive moments, free face painting for kids, and plenty of surprises along the trail — making it a completely fresh experience, even for returning guests.

“We were overwhelmed by the response to last year’s Adventure Lights. It was incredible to see so many families making memories in Carlingford,” said Edward Fuller, General Manager at Skypark. “This year, we’ve made the experience even more spectacular, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another magical winter adventure.”

Along the softly lit outdoor trail, guests will encounter:

“Adventure Lights is about more than dazzling displays — it’s about creating shared moments for families, friends, and visitors from near and far,” said Thomas McArdle, CEO of McArdle Adventure Group.

Last year’s event proved its value to the region, with visitors extending stays in local hotels and restaurants — supporting jobs and businesses throughout the Cooley Peninsula during the quieter winter months.
