Holiday Light Spectacular
PNC Bank Arts Center features one of the most extravagant drive through light displays in the tri - state area. The spectacular is a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) drive through a forest of lights. Over 5 million lights were used over 225 displays. The Light Spectacular usually runs from the end of November through January 2. It is open 5:00pm – 9:00pm 7 days a week. The display is set up in the parking lot around the Arts Center and on a specially prepared road for the display. In the premises of the light spectacular, there is a radio station that plays Christmas Carols. Also, there is a Winter Village at the end of the display. It features a snack bar, ice rink, and a Christmas decoration shop which sells smaller replicas of the displays in the light spectacular. Some large displays which are not visible from the parking lot or the amphitheater itself are left at their respective spots permanently. The manufacturing location of all the lights and displays is left confidential. The Holiday Light Spectacular has been sponsored by TOYOTA since the tradition started. In 2009, for the first time, the Lights Spectacular was scrubbed.
According to NEWS 12 NJ, The Holiday Light Spectacular was canceled in 2009.
