This brilliant 1/3-mile drive-through attraction features an astounding number of lights and includes seasonal light vignettes ranging from funny and familiar (think: Santa’s elves) to dazzling that will delight folks young and old. Your Lightopia passage will include a free treat, a 15-minute drive through the route, and a concurrent audio program timed to the light display (must have a working FM car radio).

This event is free and open to all. We encourage you to bring a nonperishable food donation for our local food bank from December 11 – January 30.
