## About

Christmas Nights of Lights at the Indiana State Fairgrounds is Central Indiana's largest drive-through holiday light show, featuring more than one million synchronized RGB LED lights dancing across a two-mile route. Families stay toasty warm inside the comfort of their own vehicles while tuning the car radio to a designated FM station to hear holiday classics synchronized perfectly to the visual spectacle. Highlights include two massive 250-foot animated light tunnels, towering 50-foot Mega Trees flashing festive motifs, jumping arches, illuminated reindeer leapfrogging overhead, and whimsical singing holiday characters. Because it is completely drive-through, it offers a hassle-free, weather-proof holiday adventure for families with newborns, toddlers in pajamas, grandparents, or individuals with mobility challenges who prefer sightseeing from their car.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Drive-through experience where guests remain in their personal vehicles; stroller accessibility is not needed during the tour.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Portable restrooms and handicap-accessible facilities are available near the entrance ticket booths prior to starting the drive.
• Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages from sleeping babies to toddlers, teens, parents, and seniors.
• Sensory Tips: Visuals are intensely colorful and rapidly synchronized to music; car radio volume can be adjusted to any preferred comfort level inside your own vehicle.
