Celebration in Lights at Newport News Park (Newport News)

November 23, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Now in its 31st season, this lightshow event offers a fanciful variety of holiday scenes created with over one million lights. New this year, a salute to the USS Newport News (CA-148), a ship named after our hometown and built by Newport News Shipbuilding! This impressive lighting installation presents a beautiful silhouette of the “Top Gun” awarded ship and stands 36 feet tall. Other new installations include the new City of Newport News logo, furry friends, sea life and more! Travel through the seasons and end up at your favorite time of the year along this picturesque two-mile display set inside Newport News Park.

The event will be open each evening, 5:30 – 10:00 p.m., through January 1, 2024.
