DERRY – LaBelle Winery has announced plans for its second annual outdoor holiday light festival, LaBelle Lights, at its Derry location. This year’s displays will be more extensive than those at last year’s inaugural event. More than 20 holiday light installations will be created using more than 250,000 energy-saving LEDs.

“Cesar and I are excited to share LaBelle Lights with the community again,” said LaBelle’s co-owner and winemaker, Amy LaBelle. “Our goal with this winter-themed festival is to bring cheer to people of all ages, and help them escape the chaos of the holiday season. It’s also is a great way to lift people’s spirits during the darkest time of year. We hope everyone will mark the event’s dates on their calendars and join us.”

LaBelle Lights will take place weekly, Wednesday through Sunday from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., starting on Wednesday, Nov. 16, through Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023. Guests who attend the festival, which will be accessible to wheelchairs and strollers, will be able to view the light displays from the groomed pathways of the LaBelle Links golf course.

This year’s show has been expanded to include LaBelle’s newly constructed tasting room and its surrounding vineyard. The additional space has allowed the LaBelle Lights design team to introduce new features into the show.

Some of LaBelle Lights’ illuminated features will include a 16-foot-tall walk-through ornament; a 14-foot-tall giant snowflake; a candy cane lane; a giant ornament cluster; a bling bridge; a 10-foot-tall teddy bear; and an antique Santa’s sleigh pulled by a 10-foot-tall reindeer. One of the show’s highlights, a meadow surrounded by hand-forged steel flowers, will be crafted by LaBelle’s in-house artists, Josh Boisvert and Troy Garner.

Guests will be encouraged to take selfies with family and friends at designated selfie stations along LaBelle Lights’ route, and to post them on social media using the hashtag #labellelights.

Throughout December, LaBelle Lights will host four holiday-themed weeks:

• 11/30-12/3: Crazy Christmas hats

• 12/7-12/10: Ugly holiday sweaters

• 12/14-12/17: Christmas pajamas

• 12/21-12/23: Best Santa costume

Guests can participate by wearing festive garb. Those with the best outfits will be awarded prizes each Friday.

A winterfest event will be held Jan. 14 and 15, 2023.

Tickets for LaBelle Lights will be $10 for seniors; $16 for teens and adults age 13-64; $8 for children age 4-12, and free for children 3 and under. Tickets will be available onsite at LaBelle’s tasting room and at www.labellewinery.com/lights.
