The drive-thru Christmas light show is back at Riders Field, with millions of lights
If your favorite holiday tradition involves piling everyone into the car, turning up the Christmas music and hunting for the brightest lights around, The Light Park belongs on your list this season.
The drive-thru holiday attraction will return to Frisco, transforming the parking lot at Riders Field into a mile-long display of millions of LED lights. The show runs nightly from Nov. 6 through Jan. 3, giving North Texans plenty of time to fit a little holiday sparkle into their schedules.
Tickets start at $29.99 per vehicle during the presale, which ends Nov. 5.
A Mile Of Lights, All From Your Car
The Light Park is designed to be enjoyed without leaving your vehicle. Drivers travel through tunnels of colorful lights, glowing trees and illuminated sculptures that move in sync with the music.
To keep the show going, visitors tune their car radios to K-GLO, billed as the North Pole’s No. 1 hit radio station. DJ Polar Ice supplies the soundtrack, mixing holiday favorites with upbeat rhythms for a Christmas light show that feels more like a festive party on wheels.
And since the whole experience takes place from inside your car, you can stay warm while taking in the displays. Pets are welcome, too, provided they remain inside the vehicle.

There are a few rules to keep in mind as you make your way through the lights. Vehicles must continue moving through the display, so there’s no stopping for photos or getting out for a closer look. Drivers should also turn off their headlights while traveling through the show and switch them back on before exiting. Because while you may be lost in the magic, the real world (and traffic) still awaits.
