About The Great Christmas Light Show: The Great Christmas Light Show is a park-wide lighted celebration that is sure to
capture the true spirit of the season! The drive through light show will feature almost 2 million lights festively displayed
along a 1.5 mile drive throughout the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex. Over 400 magical light displays, some up
to 70 feet tall, have been custom made for The Great Christmas Light Show. Visitors will experience 14 enchanting
animated figures and holiday scenes where the lights will come to life. After the journey through the light show, we invite
everyone to park their car and visit Santa’s Village where they can enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores, get an up close look at
the lights on the Santa Express Train Ride, stroll through the lighted walking trail, experience the Go Ape lighted tree top
adventure, and, of course, meet Santa!
