Magic of Lights Drive-Through Display Returns to Monmouth County Venue Nov. 21

Magic of Lights comes back to the PNC Bank Arts Center on Nov. 21. It runs through Jan. 3. This drive-through show uses LED tech and animations to create scenes with holiday characters.

Drivers stay in their cars while they move through the grounds. Hours are 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays? Those run 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The Holiday Village lets people get out and walk around. Kids can take photos with Santa, decorate cookies, or watch classic movies. Hot chocolate is there, along with other snacks. There are games too.

Tickets work anytime after you buy them, but they have to match what you picked. Weekday passes are good Monday through Thursday, and any-day admission lets you come whenever you want during the week.

You'll find this display at Exit 116 on the Garden State Parkway in Holmdel. Get tickets on the Magic of Lights website.

This tradition happens every year. Families can watch the displays without stepping outside their vehicles. LED tech makes the whole show run.

You must buy tickets ahead of time on the website. Prices change depending on whether you pick a weekday or weekend.
