Enchantment In The Park Quick Facts:

- More than 340,000 LED lights are being used to light Enchantment in the Park. While more expensive to purchase, they are more durable and use a fraction of the electricity.

- 123,550 lineal feet of lights, that's over 23 miles when spreading them out.
- More than 1,000 extension cords are being used to connect the lights to power.
