Each year at the Resort, we host a Christmas Lights Walk running from mid-November through early January. The walk covers a little under half a mile and features thousands of Christmas lights, animated displays, a nativity scene, lights synchronized to music, a walk through the woods, a light tunnel, laser lights, and more. There are over 100 floodlights and spotlights placed throughout the display.
Dates, times, and any schedule changes are posted on our Bashaw Lake Resort Facebook page. You can view the latest updates by clicking HERE.
If you plan to attend, we ask that you text us at 262-202-9201 with the night and time you expect to arrive. This helps us monitor the number of people who will be here. Parking is available along the north side of Lakeview Church Road (the side opposite the Resort). The walk begins at the top of the driveway. When time allows, we offer guided tours.
There is no charge to attend, but we do ask visitors to consider making a donation to the Salvation Army.
At a leisurely pace, the full walk takes about 15 minutes. This is an outdoor activity after dark and includes walking down a gravel drive and along a wooded trail. The path includes rough and uneven areas, especially in the woods. Depending on weather conditions and snow accumulation, parts of the trail may be slick or slippery. Visitors are welcome to bring a small flashlight and should dress appropriately for winter weather and walking outdoors at night.
Flashing lights are used at various points, and there are laser lights as part of the display. Please do not look directly into the source of the lasers.
The walk includes a tunnel with 1,600 moving LED lights, a musical light show with hundreds of synchronized incandescent and LED lights, a nativity scene, laser effects, animated displays, and other features. Near the end of the walk, guests will pass through a small indoor section with additional displays inside our farm museum and multipurpose room. The rest of the route is fully outdoors.
