Holiday Special: Illuminate Light Show Excursion
Experience Virginia’s Largest Synchronized Drive-Thru Light Show!
Mark your calendars!On Friday, December 18, 2026, FMWR is planning a festive holiday trip to Meadow Event Park in Doswell for the dazzling Illuminate Light Show & Santa's Village.
This is a massive, over 2-mile drive-thru spectacular featuring more than three million Christmas lights beautifully synchronized to holiday music that we'll play right through our vehicle's speakers.
You’ll drive through glowing musical tunnels, past towering animated holiday scenes, and through sparkling light forests—all from the warmth and comfort of our shared ride!
After the drive-thru show, we will stop at Santa’s Village, where everyone can hop out, warm up by the bonfires, enjoy tasty holiday treats, make s'mores, and even say hello to St.Nick.
We are currently working to finalize our group ticket package and transportation logistics. This is a placeholder page so you can save the date on your family calendar!
