STAMFORD, Conn., June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Amaze Light Festival is back and it's better than ever. Artistic Holiday Designs has announced the expansion of the Amaze Light Festival for the 2022 holiday season, which will now be three times larger in Chicago and on display in New York City for the first time ever. Following a $5 million fundraise by MEP Capital, the popular light show will enjoy a 45-day run starting in November and going through the holiday season at Odyssey Fun World in Tinley Park and Citi Field in New York.
'We're fully expecting this year to be bigger and more extravagant than ever before in 2022,' says Derek Norwood, CEO of Artistic Holiday Designs. 'We are excited that MEP Capital shares in our vision of bringing the holiday experience to life. They have made some incredible strategic investments in the entertainment space over the years and are very supportive in helping us grow exponentially over last season, which was very successful.'
In Chicago, the new 250,000 square-foot venue at Tinley Park will be three times as large as the 2021 venue in Rosemont, which served more than 120,000 guests. This year, the Amaze Light Festival is expecting more than 300,000 enthusiasts in Chicago and roughly 400,000 at Citi Field in New York City. The festival is poised to add VIP features, improved check-in times and overall logistic efficiency.
'We are thrilled to partner with Artistic Holiday Designs and our longstanding collaborators at Parachute Concerts to help bring Amaze Light Festivals to New York and Tinley Park,' says MEP Capital partner Andrew Kotliar.
