## About

The drive-through half of Holiday Lights is a mile of classic displays at the Carlisle Equestrian Center, seen from the vehicle. A food-donation station for Second Harvest Food Bank stands at the beginning of the driving display. The page asks visitors to bring a nonperishable item and still calls admission free, with no registration. It does not say guests must remain in the car at this site; that stay-in-vehicle rule is printed only for Lights on the Lake. The walking trail, Santa nights, Santa shop, balloon twisting, and Little Green Choo rides are at the visitor center a short way up Diagonal Road, not at this gate. Outdoor programs are weather-dependent.
