It’s that time of year again, and North Myrtle Beach is getting into the holiday spirit in the most dazzling way possible. The Great Christmas Light Show, held at the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex, is back and brighter than ever. This family-friendly event is a drive-through light display and has become a beloved tradition for locals and visitors. If you’re want to make your winter vacation unforgettable, this is one event you don’t want to miss.

Starting in late November, the park transforms into a wonderland of twinkling lights. With over 2 million lights spread across a 2-mile drive, this show is designed to capture the magic of the season. More than 500 custom-made light displays, including towering structures that reach up to 55 feet, line the route. Each display tells its own holiday story, and with new animated figures and scenes this year, the lights seem to dance and come to life before your eyes. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, this stunning display will leave you in awe.

Once you’ve made your way through the mesmerizing light show, the magic doesn’t end. Stop by Santa’s Village, where the holiday fun continues. Families can hop on the Santa Express Train Ride for an up-close view of the sparkling lights, warm up with hot chocolate and s’mores, and—of course—take a moment to visit Santa! Santa’s Village is open on select nights, giving you time for cherished memories with loved ones.

The Great Christmas Light Show runs from Nov. 25 through Dec. 30, with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. and closing at 9:30 p.m.  Keep in mind, the event is closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Santa’s Village will be open on weekends until mid-December and nightly leading up to Christmas, making it the perfect way to wrap up your holiday experience.

Whether you’re driving through the dazzling displays or strolling through Santa’s Village, the Great Christmas Light Show will surely light up your holiday season. With so much to see and do, it’s no wonder this event has become a staple of winter vacations in North Myrtle Beach.
