Celebration in Lights, Virginia’s first drive-through holiday light event, opens for its 31st season on Thanksgiving night (November 23, 2023). Newport News Park will be transformed by over a million individual lights, creating animated holiday and fanciful scenes. This year, admission on weeknights (Monday – Thursday) will be $15 per car, a savings of $3 off the weekend night (Friday – Sunday) rate of $18 per car. Additionally, advance purchase tickets (good any night) can be purchased for $12 at the Newport News Visitor Center at Newport News Park. 13560 Jefferson Ave. Remember that buying tickets in advance is a great way to save money, plus they make great stocking stuffers, employee incentives, teacher gifts, etc. Call 757-888-3333 for details.
