New Spectacular Drive-Thru XMas Light Display Coming To Capital Region
A brand new "dazzling" drive-thru Christmas lights display will debut this holiday season at Altamont Fairgrounds.
Ever since Capital Holiday Lights stopped putting on its annual Christmas light display in Albany's Washington Park a couple of years ago, folks living in the greater Albany area have not had a great drive-thru option to enjoy the spirit of the season. That will change this Christmas with the arrival at a new drive-thru light display!
Altamont Fairgrounds To Welcome Magic of Lights
The Altamont Fairgrounds for the first time ever will host the Magic of Lights Drive Thru Christmas Lights display for the first time, a press release revealed today. Magic Lights says the new festive display will feature "...dozens of displays, festive favorites, and digital animations— all crafted with millions of LED lights to create a memorable holiday experience for the entire family."
Some of the highlights along the drive-thru holiday journey will include a snowflake forest, a 12 Days of Christmas themed display section, a 200 for Christmas light tunnel, and so much more.
Fair Manager Amy Anderson says "Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. It takes me back to when I was a child, and I believed in the Magic of the Season. We are so excited to bring that Magic to our own back yard. We cannot wait to share the peace and joy with our friends and families here at The Altamont Fairgrounds.”
Magic of Lights will kick off at the Altamont Fairgrounds on Friday, November 22nd and will run through Saturday, January 4th. Hours of operation Monday through Thursday will be 5:30 to 9pm and Friday through Sunday from 5:30to 10:00pm, starting from November 22nd through January 4th. Discounted tickets are on sale now at $18 for a standard vehicle and $50 for a limo/party bus here.
