It’s that time of year again!! Time for Hillcrest Family Services Reflections in the Park presented by Fidelity Bank and Trust! From Thanksgiving through January 4th, Murphy Park in Dubuque will once again be transformed into a Christmas winter wonderland, sparkling with intricate and animated light displays including the ever popular Tunnel of Lights, the Faley family sponsored 30’ Digital Christmas Tree, Memory Lane and many new and returning favorites – all with LED lighting.

This annual event has become a family tradition over the last three decades with those that visited as children now bringing their children and grandchildren. “This event is about more than holiday lights–it’s about hope”, said Hillcrest Family Services CEO Mike Fidgeon. “People visiting the park help provide crucial behavioral health services to over 7,000 individuals in our community who rely on Hillcrest Family Services.”

Your admission fee and donations directly fund life-changing therapy, counseling, and support services for those who need it most. Reflections in the Park, “A Hillcrest Lights Festival”, presented by: Fidelity Bank and Trust; is a family tradition for so many in the Tristate community. “It is awesome to see the faces of the little ones especially,” said Greg Birkett, Steering Committee Member and Volunteer for Reflections. “It puts everyone in the Holiday spirit and is an important fundraiser for Hillcrest Family Services”.

Hillcrest is blessed with approximately 500 community volunteers that put in over 3,500 hours making Reflections in the Park  happen, from handling the promotions, refurbishing lights year-round, doing everything from set-up, to volunteering while the show is up and running, to taking down the displays when the show wraps up.

Tickets for Reflections in the Park are priced at $12 per vehicle at the gate. Discounted $10 tickets are available at tri-state area Fidelity Bank and Trust locations and at Hillcrest Family Services throughout the event.  Tickets make wonderful stocking stuffer gifts.

“We want to thank all of the sponsoring businesses for making this a reality for the tens of thousands of visitors each year. This year in addition to our principal sponsor, Fidelity Bank and Trust, the Diamond Jo is a platinum sponsor,” said Birkett.
