Christmas Lights Baltimore: Maryland Holiday Light Spectacular Opens Dec. 3

The Maryland Holiday Light Spectacular opens its third season on Thursday, December 3. It is a half-mile walk, not a drive, through more than a million lights on the infield at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium.

Opening night: Thursday, December 3, 5:30 to 9:30PM. Last entry is 9PM.

The season runs select nights through December 30: Thursday to Sunday for the first two weeks, then every night from December 17. Closed Christmas Day, and Christmas Eve closes early at 7:30PM.

Admission covers the trail, live Santa every night through December 23, the snow globe performances, and the Swiss Holiday Village with its cocoa huts, local makers and rotating food trucks. Horseland Petting Zoo joins the trail every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Carnival rides are the one add-on. The Winter Carnival Ride Book is $20 for four ride tickets, each good for the Ferris wheel, the Magical Carousel, the Santa Train or the slide. Buy it in advance, because prices go up on site.

• Adults 14 and up, $20 plus fees, 5:30 to 7:30PM
• Kids 4 to 13, $10 plus fees, any time
• Kids 3 and under, free
• Everyone $10 after 7:30PM
• Any Day, $25 plus fees, good any night we are open
• Family 4-Pack, $50 plus fees, four Any Day tickets at $12.50 each
• VIP, $39 plus fees, for the heated Holiday Bar and Lodge

Parking is free and on site, directly off I-83. The Timonium Fairgrounds Light Rail stop is right at the gate if you would rather not drive in from Baltimore. Advance tickets cost less than the gate, and all sales are final.

Nightly tickets are on the event's ticket page, and every open night is on the schedule.
