Take A Dreamy Ride Through The Largest Drive-Thru Light Show In Massachusetts, Bright Nights At Forest Park

No one celebrates the holiday season quite like Massachusetts. We have so much to do, in fact, that we often don't have enough time in the season to see and to do it all. One thing that definitely belongs on your holiday list this year is a visit to the largest drive-thru light show in Massachusetts. It has been a holiday classic for over 20 years and has earned the praise of The New York Times and Yahoo! Travel. Here’s why you should check out Bright Nights at Forest Park in Springfield.

Bright Nights is the largest drive-thru light display in the state. It’s a magical journey through Springfield’s Forest Park and has been called "One of the Top Ten Holiday Happenings in America" by People Magazine. The experience allows you to explore a wonderland of colored lights from the warmth and comfort of your car.

The attraction shimmers in more than 650,000 dazzling lights arranged into mesmerizing themed areas. It takes a full two months to set up the displays. Riding through the display will take you past a twinkling Winter Garden, through Santa’s Magical Forest, and across the whimsical landscape of Seuss Land. You’ll also see the North Pole Village, Toy Land, and a Victorian Village.

You must purchase tickets in advance. Tickets are per vehicle rather than per person inside the vehicle.

Don't forget your camera, so you can capture images like the one above.

Bright Nights at Forest Park generally welcomes visitors from late November through the New Year, with several closed dates throughout the season. However, make sure you check the website to make sure the drive-thru light display is open on the date you want to visit. Find
