On Monday, Illuminights had to cancel due to wind damage, as we reported.

We’re told that a tree damaged a small portion of the trail, but it has since been repaired. There was also a small walk-through that was damaged and blown away by the winds, but crews retrieved it and moved it back into place.

As their staff had hoped, the Walk of Lights Trail will be back open for operation starting on Tuesday night, Dec. 27, officials said.

Illuminights will finish up their 2022 season on Dec. 30, according to their website.
