The Dances Bay light show will run 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily, including weekends, concluding on Jan. 1. The light show is held in southern Pasquotank County, North Carolina and includes participation by more than 30 neighborhood residences. Two homes combine to feature more than a half-million lights. Along the tour there will be designated walkways where visitors can exit their vehicles and walk through sections of the yard displays. The walkways will offer photo opportunities, such as a one-of-a-kind 30-foot Santa Claus lighthouse that was once displayed inside the former Southgate Mall. A life-sized gingerbread house and a retired Pasquotank County fire truck decked out in colorful lights will also be on site. On the weekends, the lights display will feature events like hot chocolate with Santa, mule and carriage rides and a Christmas-themed petting zoo, similar to last year’s zoo. Residents can keep up with planned events by visiting the Dances Bay Christmas Light Show Facebook and website. There is no charge to view the display, but donations will be accepted. The goal of the holiday lights show is to “spread joy and the Christmas spirit to all.”
