By Susan Lamb: Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park
If you are a fan of the fabulous Christmas display drive-thru/walk-thru Suwannee Lights held each year at The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla., shout “Hooray!” Not only will it be held this year with a whopping 6.5 million twinkling lights and many, many astounding lighted displays, but it begins a full week sooner on Saturday, Nov. 21.
This treasured event will feature a new display route from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. each night from Saturday, Nov. 21 to Wednesday, Dec. 30 and you never have to leave your vehicle. Many new themes and displays will bring great joy to parents and children, as well as Frosty’s Wonderland for the kids. If you would like to do a walk-thru for some of the displays at the Crafts Village, please do. The Country Store will be open with many goodies such as face masks with our SOSMP logo along with many crafters who will display and sell their wares, all great for Christmas gifts. The beloved Puppatone Rockers will return on Friday, Dec. 4, to entertain the children during Suwannee Lights with their nationally famous show.
Suwannee Lights is sponsored by title sponsors Visit Suwannee County, Holley Electric, First Federal, Live Oak Pack & Ship and Collins and Company CPA.
