30 Years of Lights on the Bay

1994 - 2024

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Lights on the Bay, a beloved holiday tradition that has been lighting up the shores of the Chesapeake Bay since 1994. For three decades, families, friends, and furry companions have gathered at Sandy Point State Park to enjoy this dazzling display of holiday cheer, making it a must-do event for the season.

​

Imagine cruising along a two-mile scenic drive, surrounded by over 70 animated and stationary displays that transform the night with sparkling lights and festive vibes. It’s a feast for the eyes and a delight for the heart, where every twinkling light brings joy, wonder, and the warm feeling of giving back.

But this magical experience is more than just beautiful lights—it’s also a way to support a great cause. Proudly presented by the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, every ticket purchased helps provide shelter, care, and love to animals in need. So as you soak in the holiday spirit, know that you’re making a difference in the lives of countless animals.
