A Sparkling Tradition by the Bay!
For over a decade, families have made the magical drive through "Lights on the Bay" at Sandy Point State Park a must-do holiday tradition. Imagine cruising along the stunning shores of the Chesapeake Bay, surrounded by more than 70 dazzling animated and stationary displays lighting up your night. It’s a feast for the eyes and a delight for the heart!
And the best part? Every twinkling light and glowing display is brought to you by the SPCA of Anne Arundel County. So, as you soak in the holiday cheer, know that you’re also helping a great cause!
Skip the Line: Purchase Tickets Online
To make your visit as smooth as possible, we highly recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance. By doing so, you’ll receive a QR code that allows you to skip the ticket purchase line at the gate and head straight into the light show. While there’s a single line to enter the park, this line splits into two closer to the entrance—one for prepaid tickets and one for those purchasing on-site. With your online ticket, you’ll be able to breeze through and enjoy more time surrounded by the festive lights!
Hot Tip: Our Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights are super popular, so if you want a more relaxed experience, swing by Monday through Thursday. And don’t forget—grab those 3D glasses at the gate to watch the light show come to life in a whole new way!
