Tips & Advice
- To avoid the busiest times, plan your visit for a Monday through Thursday, ideally right at opening or the hour before closing.
- Purchase your tickets online in advance, as evenings often sell out, and on-site sales are not available.
- Consider arriving about 30 minutes before the end of your chosen time slot to fully experience the light show and any available observation areas.
- If you have a credit from a previous year's inclement weather closure, email seversholidaylights@gmail.com to redeem it for this season's show.
- While the drive-through is the main event, you can exit your vehicle to use restrooms, and after the drive, you can park in the observation lot to enjoy the full program.
Frequently Asked Questions

Are dogs allowed at Sever's Holiday Lights?
Yes! Dogs are welcome to join the festive experience within your vehicle.
How long does the drive-through typically take?
The time spent driving through the light show varies with traffic flow. The course itself is 2 miles long. Many visitors choose to drive through multiple times or park in the observation lot afterward to fully enjoy the program.
What happens if there is inclement weather?
Closure announcements will be made on their website and social media pages. Ticket holders will be able to visit on another date or time.
