FAQS
-
How long can I expect the drive-through to take?
Time spent driving through the light show completely depends on the flow of traffic. The course is 1/2 mile long with 2,500,000+ lights. We recommend vehicles go through the drive-thru and then park in the observation lot afterwards to enjoy the full program, however vehicles can also drive the course as many times as they’d like.
-
Do I need to make a reservation?
Yes. Tickets must be purchased online before your visit. Sever’s Holiday Lights is an in-demand seasonal event, so we highly recommend purchasing as early as possible. we are running 7 days a week from November 28nd thru December 25st - 5pm-9pm each day, peak week is December 18-25. When you buy tickets, you must select an hour-long time slot between 5PM-9PM. You are free to arrive any time within your chosen time slot, and if you are running a little late (or early) for your time slot, you do not need to let us know––we’re happy to be flexible.
