This annual light exhibit is a nice holiday event. It is a short drive from downtown or off the Beltline on John Nolan Drive.
It is a drive thru exhibit that takes about 15 minutes to go through. You can listen to their radio station on 95.7 or to any channel with holiday music. Some lights having "moving" pieces. There are some Madison specific scenes as well as general holiday scenes.
During the hours of 4 and 8 pm, the exit is manned with volunteers handing out mini candy canes. If you are so inclined to donate a buck or more in the donation box before the volunteer booth, it goes to cover the cost of the electricity. Any extra funds raised gets donated to the volunteer charities involved with set up and manning the booths.
I happily through at least once each season.
