Jamestown – From toddlers in strollers to senior citizens, hundreds of visitors were fascinated by this past weekend’s Audubon Lights 2025 at Audubon Community Nature Center.
Adam McKillip’s warm voice and guitar could be heard from where he performed in the backyard of the Nature Center building to across the luminary-lit trail and the ponds with their spectacular light displays.
A Sunday Bonus night has been added to Friday and Saturday (April 4 and 5) as your last opportunities to experience this year’s memorable evenings that conclude with a warm fire, hot drinks and popcorn.

Volunteer Coordinator Sharon Tefft needs more volunteers this weekend. If you can help, email her at STefft@AudubonCNC.org or call the Nature Center at (716) 569-2345. All volunteers receive free admission to the event and a complimentary snack and drink from the snack stand.
In the Nature Center building you can play in the indoor nature play area, visit the live animals, and shop in the Blue Heron Gift Shop.
You can purchase small LED lights at the entrance for additional fun, as well as glasses that refract the light to make the trail even more amazing. Bringing cash makes purchasing easier.
Audubon Lights happens rain or shine, so be sure to dress for the weather. Entertainment will move indoors if the weather is bad. You may be glad you brought a flashlight for dark sections of the trail. Parking lots have lights, but an un-lit overflow parking lot is used on crowded nights.
Admission is $12 for adults, $9 for Nature Center members and children 3–15, and free for ages 2 and under. Enter more quickly if you make reservations by the night before: Call (716) 569-2345 or go to AudubonCNC.org/events. Walk-Ins are welcome.
