✨ Winter Lights Festival & Dinner 🎄

About this event

Let's kick off the holiday season with a magical evening at the Seneca Creek Winter Lights Festival!

The festival is a drive-through experience, so we'll enjoy more than 450 illuminated displays and beautifully lit trees from the comfort of our vehicles. The drive typically takes 25–30 minutes in light traffic, although it can take longer when busy.

###

We'll have the option to enjoy dinner together beforehand, followed by a festive drive through the lights. Come for dinner, the festival, or both!

🍽️ Optional Pre-Festival Dinner

For those who would like to join us for dinner, we'll meet at a nearby Gaithersburg restaurant before heading to the festival. Dinner is optional, and everyone will pay for their own food and drinks.

Dinner time: 6:00 PM Restaurant details will be confirmed closer to the event.

🚗 Carpool or Drive Yourself

There are two ways to join the fun:

• Carpool: If you prefer to share a ride, let us know in the comments/chats whether you can offer seats or need a ride. We'll help coordinate carpools based on availability.

• Drive yourself: You're welcome to drive your own vehicle and purchase your own festival ticket.

Please note that festival admission is charged per vehicle, not per person . If you're carpooling, coordinate with your driver regarding the ticket and any contribution toward the admission fee.
