Holiday Lights 2019

The holiday season is here! So bundle up, pack the family in the car, and join us at one of our drive-thru Christmas Light locations.

This year three Utah state parks are joining in on the celebrations. These Christmas lights displays are sure to increase your holiday cheer with activities for everyone to enjoy. This includes visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus, food trucks, train rides, and more!


Fantasy at the Bay
Willard Bay State Park

A favorite for locals and visitors alike, Fantasy at the Bay has become a must-see for those in the northern Utah area.

These Christmas lights span throughout much of the northern campground of the state park. Be sure to tune your radio into the appropriate station once you enter the park so you can see the music sync to the lights. This event is open seven days a week from November 29 – December 31 and runs from 5-10 p.m. each day. The park is also selling 3D snowflake classes at the entrance gate: $2 each or three for $5.

Fridays-Mondays are especially exciting because we will have Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus on-site for photos with the family. These days also feature holiday “train” rides and food available for purchase from the Fry Me to the Moon food truck. YUM!

Ticket Information:
Tuesday-Thursday: $10
Sunday & Monday: $15
Friday & Saturday: $20
*Prices subject to change the week prior to Christmas. Annual Passes not accepted for this event.*


Holiday Nights
Utah Lake State Park &
Jordanelle State Park

Load up your friends and family into the van (or car, or truck) and experience the holidays like never before.

Drive through acres of more than 1.5 million lights and enjoy festive tunes right through your radio. You’ll drive by giant snowglobes, snowmen, elves, and more! It’s like being immersed in another world. In fact, we won’t judge you if you join the kids with your face pressed against the windows.

This event is available at both Jordanelle State Park and Utah Lake State Park.
