## About

The Colony's Christmas Spectacular is a free-to-view holiday light show at the Central Firehouse on Blair Oaks, with displays choreographed to music. Families can stay in the car and tune the radio to 99.9 FM for the synchronized soundtrack, or bundle up and watch from nearby on foot. It runs nightly for a month, which makes it an easy short outing for young children before bedtime: a single show loop can be watched in a few minutes, and there is no ticket or reservation mentioned on the city page. It opens the same evening as the city's Holiday in the Park festival at Perryman Park.
