Ring in the Holiday Season at 3rd Annual Blossom Holiday Lighting Festival Presented by Marc’sThe sprawling acreage of Blossom Music Center will be aglow with millions of colorful twinkling lights during the 3rd annual Blossom Holiday Lighting Festival presented by Marc’s. From Friday, November 28, 2008 through Sunday, January 4, 2009, the outdoor music venue in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, will transform into a spectacular two-mile drive-through holiday destination.

The Blossom Holiday Lighting Festival is the biggest lighting display in Northeast Ohio. Visitors can view more than 300 individual lighting displays during a leisurely and scenic drive through the Blossom grounds. The tallest display will reach a height of 45 feet and the longest will extend more than 200 feet.

To create the Festival’s more than 42 major scenes, Indiana-based Winterland, Inc., a national leader in holiday lighting displays, will illuminate the evening sky using some two million lights. Three popular attractions, “The 12 Days of Christmas,” “Snowflake Archway” and “Tunnel of Lights” will return once again to dazzle visitors. Popular cartoon characters, pop culture icons and traditional holiday themes will also light up the winter nights. Some scenes feature animation and blinking lights while other displays are stationary. To further enhance the festive experience, visitors can tune into an “in park only” channel on their car radio to enjoy the sounds of holiday music while driving through the giant light show.

The Blossom Holiday Lighting Festival will be open Thursday through Sunday evenings beginning November 28, 2008 – Sunday, December 14th. Beginning December 18th, the event will be open every day of the week until Sunday, January 4, 2009, including Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. The Festival is closed on Christmas (December 25) and New Year’s Eve (December 31.) Festival hours are Sunday through Thursday from 6pm to 9pm and Friday & Saturday from 6pm to 11pm.
