CHRISTMAS IN COLOR
Load up your friends and family into the van (or car, or truck) and experience Christmas like never before. Drive through acres of more than 1.5 million lights perfectly synchronized to holiday music you’ll hear right through your radio. You’ll drive by giant candy canes, snowmen, arched pathways and more. It’s like being immersed in another world. In fact, we won’t judge you if you join the kids with your face pressed against the window. We take pride in giving back to the community. A portion of all proceeds from each show goes to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help bring joy to local children facing critical illnesses. Thank you for helping us make the holidays brighter for everyone this year! For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit Christmas in Color NOVEMBER 19TH-JANUARY 2ND 5610 GLENWOOD ST.
