Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets online in advance, because every ticket goes up in price on the day of the event, and mobile tickets let you skip the lines.
- Bring a credit card, because Segra Park is cashless. Cash can only be turned into a non-refundable gift card inside the gates.
- Carry a clear bag, because Holiday Lights follows the normal Segra Park clear bag policy.
- Head to the fire pits early if you want s'mores, since the pits are first-come, first-served and the kits are sold right next to them.
- On stormy nights, check the Fireflies' website and social media, because that's where weather cancellations and closed areas are posted.
Special Events & Promotions
- Special hours on select days, including Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
- Discounts every day for active and retired military, seniors 65+ and first responders (bring valid military ID for the military discount).
- Group pricing for groups of 20 or more, booked through the Fireflies sales team.
- New this year: the 2026 event map adds new attractions.
