Bull Run Festival Of Lights 2017: Dates, Times, Prices

CENTREVILLE, VA — If you dig holiday lights, and you dig them displayed in a way that leads to a seemingly never-ending spectacle, you most likely will dig this particular Northern Virginia tradition. It's the Bull Run Festival of Lights at Bull Run Regional Park, just off Interstate 66 on Route 29 (Lee Highway).

It's a 2.5-mile motor route with various — and highly creative — light displays on both sides of the roadway. It's $25 per vehicle, with discounts during the week. So, if you want, load up the family van with the neighborhood kids to take in the scenes. Weekends are the busiest time.

Or maybe take a date. Or get a bunch of friends together. Whatever. More than 30,000 vehicles pass through each season. Just past the end of the route, there's a holiday village with rides, refreshments and photos with Santa Claus.

It began Nov. 22 and ends Jan. 7. Hours are 5-9:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 5:30-10 p.m. Friday-Sunday, as well as Dec. 24, 25, 31 and Jan. 1.
