The Richardson Light Show has actually been featured on ABC’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight” – and not just once; several times. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about this much-anticipated holiday light show.
The Richardson Light Show began 18 years ago as a typical residential display. Today, there’s nothing typical about it.
Sure to impress, this year’s display is made up of more than 250 inflatables, over 100,000 lights, hundreds of lighted wireframe characters and messages, and a 23’ animated tree.
In addition to being featured on "The Great Christmas Light Fight" a few times, Richardson Light Show was voted the "3rd best private light display in the nation" by USA Today in 2014.
Visit the light show now through December 22, 2018, Sunday through Thursday from 5:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5:30 p.m. – 10 p.m. On December 23rd – 25th, it’s open from 5:30 p.m. - 10 p.m.
Can’t make it before Christmas Day? Don’t worry; you’ll still have a chance to visit. The last two days of the 2018 season are December 26th and 27th. On those days, the display is open from 5:30 p.m. – 9 p.m.
