Holiday spirit fills the air as over one million twinkling lights await you and your family at the Holiday Lights Spectacular in the delightful community of Midwest City. Join us this holiday season for a breathtaking experience you'll never forget at Oklahoma's largest animated drive-through light display. Celebrate the magic of the season as the Joe B. Barnes Regional Park is transformed into winter wonderland. Holiday Lights Spectacular features 80 dazzling displays including the majestic 118 foot Christmas Tree lit with 9,000 bulbs and the new tunnel of lights that reaches 17ft tall and 22 ft. wide. Since it began in 1995, Holiday Lights Spectacular has nearly doubled in size, growing from 43 displays to 80 in just 12 short years! Be sure to check out this year's display of Santa fly fishing in a 20ft waterfall, with gliding fish and prancing animals!

For a sneak peek of this magical season, come out and enjoy the Opening Night of this holiday lights extravaganza on Friday, November 16. Watch the children's faces beam with joy as Santa makes his grand entrance and counts down as the radiant lights come alive! Hearts of all ages will be warmed by the glow of the season in this marvelous production of holiday lights.

Be sure to indulge in a romantic horse drawn carriage ride to delight your loved ones. Tour the 1.5 mile long drive of shimmering lights and relax as you circle back through a quiet wooded area. Carriage rides are available Friday and Saturday and are provided by C & H Carriage Shed, LLC. For reservations of 10 or more please call 405-598-0930.
