Looks like a fun time! We might have to hit that on a Winterfest trip.

As mentioned in another thread.  Get there early, or go on a weeknight.  Friday and Saturday night, the traffic will back up across the I275 bridge into Kentucky.

Very excited to check this out this weekend!

Finally made it out there tonight after work. It was surprisingly busy for a Monday. When I got there around 7, traffic was backed up almost to Gate 2 (the standard auto gate), and it took me nearly an hour to get from there to the entrance of the lights display (most of that time was spent weaving back and forth through the parking lot). The display itself was well done and had a great selection of music, with some interesting choices I wouldn't have expected. Overall it's well worth checking out. Overall it takes about 30 minutes to get through the display itself, not counting the time you spend sitting in traffic to get there...

From what I hear, this event is doing quite well again this year.  Better than last year.  Be advised, that on Saturdays, it does get backed up, and can back up across the 275 bridge.

Anyone know if there’s a discount for bringing your boat to Coney Islands Nights of Lights? Asking for a friend...



But seriously, how long does it take to remove all that stuff in an emergency/natural disaster?

The river stayed within its banks and did not affect Christmas Nights of Lights.
