About this adventure

On the final night of its 2026 season, Lights 4 Hope closes the two-mile light show at Okeeheelee Park to cars for two hours and lets people ride through on bicycles. It is meant as a relaxed family ride, not a race: riders stay on the path at a leisurely pace past the dancing lights and synchronized displays. Everyone brings their own bike, lights and safety gear; helmets are required by state law for riders 16 and under. Pedal-assist e-bikes are allowed, but e-motos without pedals are not, and walkers, runners, skaters and pets are not permitted. Tickets are sold in advance only, per rider, and capped at 500, so families who want to go should buy early. The organizer suggests checking in at 5 PM in the parking lot directly west of Shark Wake Park to pick up wristbands; riders must exit by 7:30 PM before the show reopens to cars for its last hour.
