This year, for the first time ever, tickets must be purchased online or by phone - so be sure to log on to the Light Show's official website to pick up your tickets ahead of time!
The Jones Beach State Park “Holiday Lights Spectacular," last held in 2007, has finally returned!

The lights spectacle will have over 150 animated and synchronized light displays along a 2 and a half mile drive for patrons to enjoy. The event will also have its first Holiday Village, featuring bright festive lights, holiday music, refreshments, photos with Santa, local school choir performances and a hay maze! The Holiday Lights Spectacular will begin on Thursday, November 20 and run through Sunday, January 4. Here is the schedule from their website. Visitors can experience the display each day from dusk until 10 PM Monday through Thursday and until 11 PM Friday through Sunday.
