Folks at Lu Mil Vineyard are gearing up for their 8th annual Christmas Light show and this year is set to be “the best ever.”
The dates for this year’s show are Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 28 and 29 from 6 until 10 p.m. and Thursday through Sunday, Dec. 3 – 6 and Dec. 10 – 13 from 6 until 10- p.m. On Thursday, Dec. 17, continuing through Wednesday, Dec 23, the show will take place nightly from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.
Cost for the light show is $6 per person or $60 per vehicle for vans or buses.
Folks can also rent the double-decker bus for light show tours, but reservations must be made ahead of time. Cost to rent the double-decker bus is $6 person with a minimum of 20 people required.
In addition to the light show, there is also a meal that will consist of a country buffet. The cost for the meal is separate from the tour and is $11 per person plus tax.
Denise Bridgers said this year the route has been extended by three-quarters of a mile with new decorations to see and explore.
This year, she said the route has expanded to include the far side of the water feature and drivers will be taken into the woods and across the top of the dam. Bridgers said there are new ornaments and decorations throughout the show.
She said the staff of Lu Mil Vineyard began setting up the display as early as September.
For those who have not yet attended the light show, Bridgers said the route is well marked and you drive your vehicle through the display of dazzling lights and music.
“We tell you what radio station to tune your car’s radio to hear the music the lights are synchronized to,” said Bridgers.
She added there are many photo opportunities throughout the show. Bridgers said there are three Nativity scenes placed along the route. Bridgers said the Nativity scenes are very important to her and her family and are an integral part of the show.
Bridgers said that’s not all. New this year will be a special Star Wars display located between the gift shop and candy shop that folks can walk through and take photos
Folks will also enjoy the Candy Shop which features an array of old fashioned candies. This year, Santa will also be on hand to hear the wish list for all the children who will be visiting. The Gift Shop will also be open and will feature an array of gift ideas as well as offering Muscadine cider to help folks warm up from their tour.
The cabins are also available for overnight accommodations if needed, said Bridgers.
Bridgers said there is something for all ages at Lu Mil’s Christmas Light Show.
“It’s like a little vibrant, exciting, magical place and we encourage people to come to celebrate Christmas,” said Bridgers.
