City of Gaithersburg issued the following announcement on Sept. 13.
Now in its 23rd season, the Gaithersburg Winter Lights Festival has become a much-anticipated holiday tradition for families in the Washington area. The 3.5 mile drive through hundreds of dazzling light displays and beautifully lit trees in the idyllic setting of Seneca Creek State Park has created joyful memories for the more than 1.2 million visitors that have shared the magic with us over the years.
A portion of the ticket sales from the Festival benefits charities that help hundreds of people in the Gaithersburg community. In anticipation of the 2018 event, qualified nonprofit and not-for-profit organizations are invited to apply now for beneficiary status. A limited number of opportunities are available. Certain restrictions apply.
Application forms are available online here. The application deadline is October 12, 2018 and organizations selected to be beneficiaries of this year’s Winter Lights Festival will be informed in early November.

It closes at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Admission is $12 per car Monday through Thursday and $15 per car Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
