## About

Skylands Stadium, the minor-league ballpark in Augusta, turns its grounds into a holiday light show on select nights from November 21 to December 30, 2026. The centerpiece is a mile-long drive-through route with more than two million lights, animated displays and festive scenes that families watch from their own car, so it works well with babies and toddlers in car seats. After the drive, the Christmas Village adds a walk-through light tunnel, holiday photo spots, vendors selling gifts, s'mores at a fire pit, hot cocoa, ice cream and seasonal snacks, plus Santa visits on dates the stadium will announce; the Barnyard restaurant on site serves dinner, and there is a beer garden for adults. Areas are stroller and wheelchair friendly and parking is free. One price covers the whole carload: a standard ticket reserves a date and time slot, while a VIP ticket allows any operating night without a reservation, uses an express lane and includes two holiday novelty toys. Tickets must be bought online in advance.
