Christmastime in Pennsylvania shines – literally – with countless Christmas light displays across the state promising a fun and family-friendly way to get into the holiday spirit. Fitting all of the holiday fun into our schedules often means prioritizing what we really want to experience, including this magical winter lights display in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The family-friendly event runs for more than a month, so you have plenty of time to squeeze in a visit.

Celebrating its second year in 2023, Glowland transforms two square miles of the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Oakland into a magical display of colorful lights, music, art, and family-friendly fun.

Perhaps the highlight of this unique event, billed as “Pittsburgh’s premier winter lighting festival,” EXPosure will feature massive vinyl spheres. When you stand in front of the spheres, your image will be projected off of it, creating “motion-based art.”
