The Lights on St. Paul is The Arc’s gift to the community. It is The Arc’s largest single fundraiser and helps The Arc do its work of serving the needs of over 7,000 local individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Admission to the light show is free, however donations are greatly appreciated. In 2009, nearly 75,000 people visited the Lights on St. Paul. Through the generosity of Individual donors and local businesses, The Arc raised over $80,000 that went towards furthering its mission of improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities . . . providing educational and social opportunities to enhance development of individual potential . . . advocating for supports and services in the community.

The Lights on St. Paul, the state’s largest neighborhood drive-through holiday light show reaching a half-mile in length, is the result of the dedication of over 400 volunteers who help construct the handmade displays. The entire presentation consists of nearly 1.5 million lights and includes a number of displays that are timed to music including a dancing water fountain and a tunnel of lights.
