## About

A drive-through light and music show at the Wilson County Fairgrounds and Ward Agricultural Center. A family-vehicle admission includes Santa's Village, a visit with Santa, and time in the petting zoo. The show stays open rain or shine on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The organizer asks drivers to use the entrance across from Dollar General and warns that weekends after Thanksgiving, especially Saturdays, and December 19–23 usually mean a long wait. Other weeknights are described as having little or no wait. Cash and major cards are accepted at the gate, and tickets can also be bought online.
