Celebration in Lights, Virginia’s first drive-through holiday light event, will open for its nineteenth season on Thanksgiving night (November 24, 2011). Newport News Park will be transformed by over half a million individual lights creating animated holiday and fanciful scenes. The event will be open each evening, 5:30 - 10:00 p.m., through New Year’s (January 1, 2012).

The magic of the holiday season comes to life as reindeer leap overhead from the dark winter woods, candy canes twinkle along the roadside, and rainbow-colored scenes reflect on the park’s ponds. Traditional holiday scenes include “Winter Wonderland” with penguins, skiers, and snowflakes and “Santa’s Enchanted Kingdom” with elves, toys, and Santa.

Hours and admission are: Sunday- Saturday 5:30 - 10:00 p.m., $10.00 per car and $50.00 per bus. Newport News Park is located at the intersection of Ft. Eustis Blvd. and Jefferson Ave. in Newport News, VA. Directions: Eastbound I-64 use Exit 247 (Lee Hall), Westbound I-64 use Exit 250 B (Ft. Eustis). For more information, call (757) 926-1400.
