This magical drive-thru lights display runs from Thanksgiving week to the final weekend of December and is sure to be a holiday highlight. As you journey through, you’ll be greeted by the towering 26-foot Santa, accompanied by his jolly companions popping up along the route to spread festive cheer. Delight in Candy Cane Land, aglow with candy cane lights, and marvel at life-sized snow globes, each depicting its own enchanting scene.
There are also over 600 feet of illuminated tunnels, created by more than 200 twinkling arches. The 30-minute journey is made even more enchanting with synchronized light shows set to classic holiday music, broadcast straight to your car’s radio.
As you drive through this winter wonderland, you’ll pass by more than 100 trees adorned with colorful lights and animated displays. From twinkling nativity scenes to dazzling holiday decorations, every turn brings something new to capture the spirit of the season.
This event is designed to support local non-profit groups, making it a heartwarming way to spread holiday cheer.
In conjunction with the festival of lights, there will be a Christmas Tree Contest. Trees and, electricity, and maintenance will be provided throughout the drive-thru display season. The use of energy-efficient LED lights is encouraged.
