Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park has 6 more nights. Thursday night Military Road was fairly quiet, so the day after Christmas might have been a good night to visit. Some nights Pacific Avenue is backed up with cars down the hill into Parkland.

About the Display
Pierce County Parks and Recreation is pleased to present the 19th annual ‘Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park,’ the largest holiday drive-through display in the Northwest, featuring nearly 300 elaborate displays and thousands of sparkling lights. The beautiful two-mile drive along Spanaway Lake has become a memorable lakeside tradition for the entire family.
Visitors of all ages will be treated to the magical world of animation and imagination where bears fly kites, Santa and Rudolf sail a tall ship, snow boys kick field goals, penguins slide down an igloo, and raindeer leap over your car. You will also marvel at more LED lighting throughout the park along with new displays including a rocket ship, octopus and giant clam.
As you drive, dial your car radio to FM 93.7 to listen to a selection of special holiday music performed by a local high school to add to the festive atmosphere of the park.
Operation Schedule
Fantasy Lights will operate every night including Christmas and New Year’s Day, from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Since this is a very popular event, please anticipate long waits of up to one hour to enter the park on Friday and Saturday evenings. Enjoy Fantasy Lights Sundays through Thursdays for a more relaxed experience.
