WHERE CAN I BUY TICKETS?

For our 2024 season, you can purchase your tickets online via Eventbrite. (Only one ticket is needed per vehicle.) Purchasing your ticket online will give you the best available price and allow you to reserve the specific day and time that you would like to attend. You can also add your 2024 Annual Ornament and Holiday Specs (see a picture in every point of light!) to your ticket purchase online.

DO I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY HEADLIGHTS?

We encourage you to turn off your headlights during your drive through Bull Run Festival of Lights for the best viewing experience. The road through the show is lined with lights on both sides and provides enough visibility should you choose to turn off your headlights. However, we recognize that not all vehicle makes and models have the option to turn headlights completely off.

CAN I GET OUT OF MY CAR?

Please do not get out of your car during the show! There are many cords, stakes, and wiring that hold up the displays and are not visible in the dark, and we do not want anyone to get injured. You may park and exit your car at the end of the show to enjoy our walk-through lights and photo ops. Restrooms are also available at the end of the show.

ARE YOU CLOSED BECAUSE IT IS RAINING/SNOWING?

The show itself will typically remain open during rain or snow. If heavy rain causes flooding, or heavy snow makes it unsafe to drive, we will close the show. All Event Brite ticket holders will receive an email notification in the event of inclement weather closure. The best way to check the status during inclement weather is to visit our Facebook, Instagram or website (www.Bullrunfestivaloflights.com)
