Drive-thru holiday light show at Lanier Islands on Lake Lanier, Nov 20, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027. Priced per vehicle; 2026 prices not yet published when we checked.
Magical Nights of Lights is a drive-thru light show at Lanier Islands, the resort on Lake Lanier northeast of Atlanta. You stay in your car and drive the route past the light displays, which makes it a good choice in cold or wet weather and with small children.
Atlanta's tourism board lists the 2026–27 season from November 20, 2026 to January 3, 2027. Admission is priced per vehicle. Lanier Islands hadn't published 2026 prices when we checked, so look on the resort's website before you go.
It's roughly an hour from downtown Atlanta up I-85 and I-985, so budget for the drive and for traffic on December weekends.
