Drive Through 2 Miles Dotted With Over One Million Lights At Holiday Lights On The River In South Carolina

Looking for some socially distant fun this holiday season? We've found it! The Holiday Lights on the River is a display of drive-thru Christmas lights in South Carolina practically guaranteed to add holiday cheer to everyone's demeanor this year. It takes place at Saluda Shoals Park in South Carolina beginning on November 22, 2023. Welcome to some of the best drive-thru lights in South Carolina, sure to put a smile on the faces of your whole family.

Best of all, it's affordably priced at just $25 per car and you can pile as many people in that car as you can safely transport... there is no limit. (However, passenger vans, trucks, and limos will cost slightly more.)

Good luck narrowing down the guest list to fit them all in your car, and then head out to Saluda Shoals in Columbia for two miles of twinkling lights.

On the journey, you'll wind past more than 400 animated light displays.

From Christmas trees to skaters on a pond circling a make-believe fountain, and more, you're sure to love them all!

You may even feel a bit patriotic as you zip through the displays.

The event features myriad activities you can do outside of your car once you've finished with the two miles of drive-through displays.

If you're not so familiar with Columbia, Saluda Shoals Park is west of town, near Interstate 26 and near Irmo.
