## About

Christmas Nights of Lights is a drive-through holiday display on the Indiana State Fairgrounds, presented by Fifth Third Bank. Families stay in the car while lighted scenes run along the route, timed to festive music played through the car radio. The fairgrounds event page says the show is open nightly from November 6 through December 31, 2026, listed at 6:00 p.m., and that it runs rain, shine, or snow. Entry for the light route is Gate 3 at 1698 E. 42nd Street. Online reservations are required. The organizer says there are no refunds because each night has limited tickets, and an exchange for another night or time must be requested no later than 10 p.m. on the day the ticket is valid. The linked ticket page that was opened does not print a dollar amount, so the admission price is left unknown. The street address used here is the fairgrounds address printed on the same page.
