## About

The Dancing Lights of Christmas at the Wilson County Fairgrounds in Lebanon is Middle Tennessee's largest and most famous drive-through holiday light show, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors each winter. Featuring more than two and a half million brilliant LED lights, this two-and-a-half-mile driving course dazzles families as computer-programmed animated light tunnels, 40-foot singing Christmas trees, dancing snowmen, and leaping reindeer synchronize perfectly to festive holiday tunes broadcast through your vehicle's FM car stereo. After the drive, families can park and visit Santa's Village to snap keepsake holiday photos with Santa, pet friendly barnyard animals in the petting zoo, enjoy pony rides, and warm up with freshly fried funnel cakes and gourmet hot chocolate.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The main light tour is experienced entirely from the comfort and warmth of your own family car; Santa's Village features paved walkways suitable for strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Restrooms with baby changing stations are located inside Santa's Village at the James E. Ward Agricultural exhibition hall.
• Age Suitability: Exceptional for infants, toddlers, and young children who can stay bundled up in their car seats with blankets while watching the lights.
• Sensory Tips: Parents have complete control over audio volume via their car radio; flashing light sequences are synchronized to music but can be observed comfortably from the front or back seats.
