Mississippi is about to get a bit brighter...and it’s all thanks to 50 Nights of Lights! Made up of over 100,000 lights and tons of festive decorations, the annual yuletide display is quite the sight. Even better, you can either walk or drive through it. Read on for the details. And don’t forget to mark your calendar because this is one holiday event you don’t want to miss.
Each holiday season, the charming town of Cleveland undergoes a festive makeover – otherwise known as 50 Nights of Lights!
During the spectacular Christmas time spectacle, downtown Cleveland is transformed into a winter wonderland and must-visit destination for holiday fun.
The dazzling display has come a long way since its inception. Initially, it consisted of a few businesses adorning their windows with white lights.
Today, it includes more than 100,000 lights, animated decorations, and Christmas trees in varying shapes and sizes.
The display also consists of several themes. As you make your way throughout 50 Nights of Lights, you’ll find a music theme, Candy Land theme, and train theme.
This year's event began in November, but it will run through January 1, 2024, so there's still plenty of time to visit! The holiday display can be found up and down the green strip in downtown Cleveland on Shape Avenue, Cotton Row, and Court Street.
A great choice for festive fun regardless of the weather, 50 Nights of Lights can be viewed by foot or by car.
