8 things you can do to make lightfest best for everyone
• Register now to secure a spot in your favorite time slot
• Watch out for pedestrian traffic
• Follow the directions of parking attendants and park close to each other
• Be prepared to park in the back row if you’re driving a tall vehicle like a truck or a conversion van. We park midsize vehicles (vans, SUVs) in the middle and and sedans up front.
• Turn your headlights off as soon as you park**
• Tune to 97.1
• Arrive no earlier than 20 minutes before show 1 to allow our parking team to get set. Arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before shows 2 and 3 to allow us to clear the parking lot from the previous shows.
• If you’d prefer not to be served on our event nights, just raise your hand when a server approaches your window
** Why won’t my headlights turn off? Many daytime headlights are disabled on vehicles by (1) engaging the parking brake, (2) turning off the vehicle and (3) turning the vehicle back on again.
show schedule
December 8 – 10, 15 – 17

If you are a guest for shows 2 or 3, we encourage you to arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your showtime so that we can properly vacate the parking lot. Guests of show one may arrive at 5:40 pm.
Songs from last year’s show will run throughout December up until the event. We will cycle in last year’s songs leading up to the event and feature special nights such as Christmas Eve’s Charity Lights where you choose the color of the church, a special Christmas day program and a New Year’s show. Stop by any time!
Kids’ Night
Encounter the lights. Kids Night is a special night of the season where we feature kids’s music and classic Christmas songs with an opportunity to get up close and personal with the lights. Families are invited inside to enjoy cookie decorating, warm drinks, and fun activities. Outside they can walk around the lights in a safely blocked-off area and get their pictures taken in front of our light wings. Don’t miss it! Register for December 16th at lightfestnh.com.
good questions
• Can I watch the show more than once on any given night? If you have registered for the additional shows, yes. If you’d like to stick around for another show, please register again online and proceed through check-in again.
• Can we walk up close? Yes! Just be careful of traffic.
• How many lights are there? 14,000 pixel lights! Each LED pixel contains three nodes: red, blue and green. So maybe closer to 42,000? But who’s counting?
• Do you take donations? No. We love being a part of our community. And we do it to serve freely.
• Are you inviting people in for cookie decorating? Register for Kid’s Night to enjoy a show made just for kids. Cookie decorating and more are happening inside.
