Nassau County Holiday Light Show joins Riverhead location November 20th.

Riverhead Holiday Light Show has been a seasonal tradition for Long Island families for almost a decade. This year, the holidays will be twice as bright as Nassau County Holiday Light Show debuts at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum! This brand new show promises to deliver an enchanting experience for holiday enthusiasts of all ages. 

As for Riverhead, that show will be moving to Calverton Executive Airpark. While it still preserves the magic of years past, this year is an all new show featuring a fresh lineup of seasonal scenes, animated characters, and dazzling light displays! The 2026 show will delight new and returning guests alike! 

When guests arrive, they will be directed to tune their car stereo to the radio frequency provided. Then they will journey through a full mile of sparkling lights, dancing to the beat of holiday tunes playing right from their radio! This immersive drive-through experience, which takes visitors 20-25 minutes to complete, brings the magic of the season to life with lights perfectly timed to the music. 

The show runs on select nights from November 20th through December 31st (visit www.HolidayLightShow.com for specific dates). There are several ticket levels to suit every guest’s ideal experience: 

● General Admission – $35, allows one-time admission only on the selected date.

● Flex Pass – $55, allows any-night admission. Note: this option is only available for a limited time!

● Season Pass – $129*, allows unlimited entry to the event on nights of operation throughout the season (*Riverhead only).
