Many motorists driving from Portland to Seattle stop in Centralia, Washington, to take a break halfway through their drive and refuel their cars. During the holidays, extend your break by driving through the holiday light displays at Fort Borst Park. This half-mile tour is in its fifth year and features 10 new displays.
The lights are on daily for drivers 5-9 p.m., December 7-25. Walkers can enjoy the lights 4-5 p.m. daily.
Admission is $3 per car or $2 if you donate a non-perishable food item.
To reach Fort Borst Park, take Exit 82 from I-5 North or South, and turn west on Harrison Avenue. Take the first left on Belmont Avenue, between the Texaco and Safeway gas stations. The park’s entrance is straight ahead, one block away.

From the freeway it looks wonderful. We were by it and thought that next year we would love to stop by and enjoy the display. I am from there but didn’t know about this event. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Jeanette. I found out about it during a stop at the Safeway gas station less than a block away from the park and the lights were on.
