Each holiday season for the last 28 years, Lights of Hope has illuminated Anderson with display after display during the holidays; each year better than the one before. This year is no different. Get ready to experience a light display that's as unique as it is dazzling. Plus, you'll be helping a good cause as Lights of Hope helps local disabled and disadvantaged people. Here's what to expect when you travel over to Anderson Lights of Hope to view one of the best holiday lights displays in South Carolina.
Anderson's Christmas Lights, also called Lights of Hope, is a huge event.
It takes place across the street from the Civic Center. The address is Old Country Farm Circle, Anderson, South Carolina.
The drive-thru event this year covers 45 acres and the journey follows 2.5 miles of light displays.
More than 290 displays adorn the space. Trees, bushes, buildings, and virtually anything that can have a light strand anchored or affixed to it will be aglow and twinkling from Thanksgiving night through Christmas.
Turn up the heat and the Christmas carols as you make your way through this drive-thru event.
The lights alone are enough to inject some holiday cheer into the evening, but when you add the tunes and even some snacks that you pack from home, it's a sure ringer that everyone will have a wonderful time.
Take it nice and slow and enjoy the evening.
Tickets for the event are only $10 per car. And you can go around as many times as you want. Circle all evening if your heart desires!
We can't think of a better way to get into the holiday spirit than by gathering up the family for a sing-a-long while viewing sparkling light displays. Can you?
Anderson's Lights of Hope features a salute to the military this year, so be on the lookout for that. You'll also see a tribute to the Anderson Express and the Hartwell Queen Riverboat!
This is one of the most dazzling drive-thru holiday light displays you'll find in South Carolina.
Is this one worth traveling halfway across the state to attend? Our answer is a loud and resounding YES!
