Video: Dramatic Christmas light show in Wall this weekend
An annual tradition, the wild “Christmas Light Show” returns to a Wall neighborhood this weekend, promising to dazzle the thousands of expected attendees.
In its tenth season, the show will feature a dramatic display of lights, music, and pyrotechnics, organizers say.
Last year’s show featured 1,000 individual strands of lights, over 80,000 bulbs, pyrotechnic effects, a 3D projection effect, concert lighting, color changing lights, and robotic effects synchronized to Christmas music.
Organizers say that while the show on Woolley Road is free, they suggest a donation to Challenged Youth Sports, Inc., a local nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity that sponsors sports programs and builds facilities for children with disabilities.
The suggested donation for a family of four is $20 to $25 and $10 for an individual adult or a couple.
