Armed Forces, veterans, law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical service personnel, their spouses, and everyone in their car.

Visitors will be greeted by Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno, Spirit of Springfield President Judy Matt, leaders from the military, law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services.

A drive through Bright Nights at Forest Park is just a small token of our appreciation.”
