The Fairgrounds Festival of Lights is a new holiday-season event at the St. Lucie County Fairgrounds, running from Thanksgiving night through the end of December. This drive-thru holiday lights experience features a mile-long light trail and Santa’s Village. Guests can enjoy a petting zoo, real reindeer, and live animal nativity. Santa will be available for visits from Fridays to Sundays, allowing families to capture free photos.
Admission is $25 per car for advanced tickets (valid for up to eight passengers); tickets at the gate are $30. From Christmas Day through December 29, admission drops to $15 per car, with gate prices at $20. Advance ticket purchases are encouraged to save money and avoid long lines. The fairgrounds will be closed Monday & Tuesday, and open Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 6 to 9 PM. They will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 6 to 10 PM.
Some food options include funnel cakes, corn dogs, and hot chocolate, which are available for purchase on-site.
