New Jersey is covered in lights this holiday season.

November is launch time for walk-thru and drive-thru holiday light shows. And this year may offer more opportunities for residents than ever before.

Farms, theme parks, and event venues are taking part in the festivities. They've put up thousands of lights, and they're going to charge you to look at them.

We've compiled a list of light shows that can help boost your holiday spirit in 2024.

Many on the list run past Christmas Day. Most require customers to purchase tickets ahead of time.

The spots below charge by vehicle or car. If you're not interested in paying, check out one of the countless house displays in New Jersey — they may just ask for a donation.
