While holiday festivities across the country are already being shut down and are folks are scrambling to find new traditions, the Mount Rushmore State will continue on with a beloved Christmas event that is both safe and festive, which is the enchanting Watertown Winter Wonderland drive-thru light show:

Located in - you guessed it! - Watertown, the Watertown Winter Wonderland is arguably South Dakota's best drive-thru light display... and for a good reason!
