Tom Hanafan Park Light Show

Originally inspired by the great European baroque knot gardens, the 5-acre Great Lawn is the canvas for a giant ever-changing light show named "Rays." Utilizing powerful dynamic and robotic lighting fixtures the light show features choreographed sequences and an interactive show that will track and "play" with people through a series of simple intuitive games. The lawn is activated every half hour starting at dusk.
