Magic of Lights at the Daytona International Speedway
The Magic of Lights at the Daytona International Speedway kicks off the holiday season tonight. The event provides people the chance to drive through parts of the speedway and get into the holiday spirit.
Drivers can pack their cars with friends and family for a leisurely drive right under the stands and next to the track as they take in all of the different holiday themes. Now in its third year, there are more than one million lights to see over 1.5 miles. The drive takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic. The point is to slow down and enjoy it.
There’s even a new selfie tunnel where folks can get out and snap some pictures and grab some hot cocoa.
“We’ve added the additional enchanted tunnel,” said Tim Murray of, Magic of Lights. “We’ve added a new range of overhead structures, [including] the space area which we call Christmas in Space.”
The price of admission starts at $20 per car. A portion of the proceeds goes to charity.
“We have a great partner in AdventHealth, and we want to continue to support them in the great efforts they’re making to help our local community,” Wile said.
The popular Magic of Lights drive-thru will be around through New Year’s Day.
