This Underrated Southern City Transforms Into a Christmas Wonderland Every December—With Over 1 Million Lights

"A dazzling, walkable spectacle launched in 2017, this over-one-million-light display stretches across more than six downtown blocks, with LED installations on facades, storefronts, medians, and public spaces choreographed to upbeat Macon Pops tracks. It’s meant to be seen from multiple vantage points rather than a single viewing area, as each surface joins a carefully calibrated dance to the soundtrack. The season kicks off November 28 with the annual Macon Pops Christmas Spectacular, then nightly shows run at 6, 7, 8, and 9 p.m. for 45 minutes on the hour, with the lights staying on from 10 to 11 p.m. for late-evening wandering." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

Absolute beautiful experience! The event was put together beautifully, parking was easy, police force all around so me and my girlfriend felt very safe, all of the lights are magnificent and I admire what it took to make this happen for the middle Georgia area and I absolutely recommend you visit with the entire family and bring your friends! Be back next year 😌

Free event and great for family gathering. Went there on tge Christmas day. If you love lights, it's a must place to go. The lighting dances with the music. It was a pleasant experience to walk around in the lighting. A great place for the photography too and if you like to capture your photos in the lights.

We have enjoyed these lights multiple times a year for several years. This is the perfect night whether you are out making memories with the kids or on a romantic date downtown. Get there early and plan to walk a lot. It is on worth it though! You will never regret this night!!

Parking took 5 minutes to find and we paid $10. The lights were prettier than we remember them being in the past. There was also a snow machine and a lot of good restaurants, coffee, and a candy shop around

Free event and family friendly. We went Christmas day around 6pm after dinner. Just parked and walked around. Nice to see so many families together. Less than a mile of easy, paved walking to see the whole lit area and listen to the music. Some porta potties available, lots of benches and a noticeable police presence for safety. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Very pretty lights that were synchronized to music. Pretty places to take pictures. Horse rides. The weather was nice tonight. The crowds were not bad. It was completely free. A good stretch of land for the attraction. Great job putting this together.
