A festive drive-through tradition that sparkles with heart
If you’re looking for a holiday outing that’s equal parts magical and easy, Hebron Lions Lights In Motion delivers big-time cheer from the comfort of your car. This beloved Connecticut drive-through experience features a full one-mile route lined with over one million twinkling lights, all choreographed to classic holiday music that fills your vehicle as you cruise through.
Families, couples, and even pets (yes, pets are welcome!) can enjoy the show without stepping out into the cold. The lights shimmer, pulse, and dance in sync with festive tunes, creating a cozy, immersive experience that feels both nostalgic and wow-worthy. It’s the kind of holiday tradition that works just as well for a spontaneous weeknight outing as it does for a planned family night.
What makes this event even more meaningful is its mission. Net proceeds benefit children’s charities, so every ticket helps spread holiday joy beyond the lights themselves. Now in its fifth year, Lights In Motion has quickly become a favorite for locals looking to celebrate the season while supporting a great cause.
With flexible ticket options, including late-night “Night Owl” entry, and no reservations required, it’s an easy win for your holiday calendar.
Thanks!
