Lights of Life

About this event

Lights of Life, a beloved Marietta holiday light tradition, is back beginning on Thanksgiving evening and running every night, rain or shine, through New Year’s Eve.

LIFE introduced Lights of LIFE to the local community in 1989. It has now grown to be one of the most popular light shows in the Southeast, attracting nearly half a million spectators from the surrounding region. Cars, trucks, vans, and buses cruise through the spectacularly illuminated campus each year, often stopping along the 1.5-mile drive to enjoy an array of seasonal entertainments.

Each year, the Lights of LIFE display is a little different, making the experience unique from one year to the next. With more than one million LED bulbs, combined with the low admission cost, Lights of LIFE is the most affordable, quality light display in the metro Atlanta area.

As in years past, pony rides, train rides, and the petting zoo will also return, as will the concession stand, offering seasonal drinks and snacks for purchase. Each of these vendors is independent of the Life University Lights of LIFE operation, and therefore, their schedules and fees are at their discretion and can change at any time.

Lights of LIFE is a zero-profit operation. Per-vehicle fees go to offset the cost of electricity and those associated with ongoing operations.
