BLOG: Symphony of Lights GIVEAWAY!

Symphony of Lights in Columbia is a great place to see a Christmas Light Display. Be sure to enter for a FREE admission pass!

There are a few light displays around Bowie this holiday season and one is the Symphony of Lights located in Columbia, Maryland.  The proceeds benefit Howard County General Hospital.  From Bowie, you are looking at about a 30-45 minute drive but the ride is worth it.  Their display features roughly 70 giant light displays and kids of all ages are sure to enjoy.  There are multiple options for how you can view the display, stick wtih the traditional drive thru route (which takes roughly 30 minutes) OR try one of their other options.  Take a walk through with your dogs, walk through with your kids in a stroller or wagon, or travel with a group.  The walk is less than a mile and a half and it is sure to be a wonderful experience no matter how you travel.  

Be sure to check their website for the schedules if you plan to view the lights other than a car ride.  

Dates and Hours for viewing lights through drive thru are:  

Monday, November 19, 2012 - Sunday, January 6, 2013

Open 7 days a week from 6:00 pm-10:00 pm, including holidays except closed December 31st for the Midnight at 7 event.

For a 8 passenger vehicle the cost is $20, however if you go to the website I've posted below you can print a $5 off coupon.

I have a voucher for ONE CAR ADMISSION to drive through the Symphony of Lights.  A $20 Value.  If you would like to enter to WIN a free trip please leave a comment below.  I will use random.org to select a winner ONE WEEK from when this Blog is posted.  Be sure to tell your friends to enter too!  As long as you can ride together, why not increase your odds!

It always gets me in the holiday mood to go on a Friday night and listen to WASH-FM play holiday tunes. Looking forward to it again this year.

I've always wanted to go to this but we always do Watkins instead I guess because it is closer, and cheaper! Is this better than the Watkins Park lights?

Haven't been in 8 yrs and would love to go back!

I have never been and would like to attend and create a new holiday family tradition!

I have been looking for a coupon for this event and the only one I found was for the first week of December. I think that is a bit too early to go see the lights. Pick me, pick me!

Lisa, check on groupon. I got an email either yesterday or this morning for $10 for the ride through.

Wouldn't say better but more modern for sure. They use more LED lights and make changes every year whereas Watkins is "typically" the same display every year.

There was a Living Social and Groupon deal but they are both over :( Here is a link for a $5 off coupon.

My primary goal of forming this group, is to give all of us sufferers a feeling of belonging. SoRead More many people feel like they have no where, and no one to turn to, and I want to be that person and provide a group that can offer a pick-me-up throughout the day, or something to look forward to mid-week. So far, I have had 3 people reach out to me which is wonderful, however, I would like to have at least 5 people for our first meeting. I look forward to hearing from YOU soon! ~Cheers, Brittany
