PEARL — Trustmark Park will transform into a holiday destination this winter with the debut of The Southern Lights, opening Nov. 21.
The festival will feature millions of lights, glowing tunnels, skating, carnival rides and fire pits with roasted marshmallows. It is scheduled to run through early January.
The Southern Lights is a partnership between the Mississippi Mud Monsters and Spectrum Entertainment, producers of the nationally recognized College Series. Organizers said the event fulfills the team’s promise to make Trustmark Park a year-round destination beyond baseball.
“This is more than just a holiday festival — it’s an invitation for the entire South to share in something magical,” said Mud Monsters General Manager Andrew Seymour. “We want children skating under the night sky, families gathering by the fire, and travelers making the trip to Pearl because they know this is where the holiday spirit glows brightest.”
Tickets go on sale Sept. 22 starting at $15. Add-on experiences will include skating, s’mores and other activities. Group packages will feature fire pits, the Farm Bureau Grill, train rides and Party Decks.
