Visiting & Hours
Can you walk around the show, or do you have to drive by?
The display is designed as a drive-up show, not a walk-through — there are tripping hazards throughout the yard and it is not set up for foot traffic. Many families drive up, stop, and tune their car radio to 106.9 FM to enjoy the show. When you're done, you can drive into the neighborhood — go to the top of the intersection and turn left or right — and walk the surrounding streets to see other lights up close. Please don't block neighbors' driveways.
What time does the show start and end?
The show starts at 6:30 PM every night.
Sunday – Thursday: 6:30 PM – 8:55 PM
Friday & Saturday: 6:30 PM – 9:25 PM
All times are approximate and weather permitting.
How long is the show each night?
The full music playlist runs about 20 minutes and then repeats continuously. So you can arrive any time between 6:30 and the end of the night and hear a complete show. Sunday–Thursday runs about 2.5 hours total; Friday–Saturday runs about 3 hours.
When does the 2026 season run?
The 2026 Lewis Halloween Light Show runs October 16 – October 31, 2026, every night of the season.
Is there parking at the show?
There is no dedicated parking lot. Post Road is a busy road, so don't stop in the travel lanes. Turn into the residential neighborhood at the top of the intersection and park on the side streets — just don't block neighbors' driveways. The side streets make for a nice walk too.
Is the show safe to drive past on Post Road?
Post Road is a busy, fast-moving road — please slow down but keep moving in your lane. Turn into the neighborhood if you want to stop and look. Never park in the travel lanes or block traffic.
Cost & Admission
Is the Halloween light show free?
Yes — completely free. No tickets, no registration, no donations required. Just show up, tune to 106.9 FM, and enjoy.
Do I need to register or buy tickets?
No. There are no tickets and no registration. The show is open to anyone who drives or walks by.
Music & Technology
What radio station do I tune to?
Tune your car radio to 106.9 FM. The music plays in exact sync with the lights via a low-power FM transmitter (FCC Part 15C compliant). Reception is strongest directly in front of the display.
What songs are played?
The 2026 playlist includes:
Devil Went Down to Georgia, Ghostbusters, Funeral March of a Marionette, Nightmare, Spooky Scary Skeletons, Tales from the Crypt, and
Time Warp. See the
full playlist page for song lengths and order.
How are the lights synchronized to the music?
The display uses two Light-O-Rama 16-channel computerized light controllers (32 channels total), sequenced to music on a Windows PC and broadcast on a low-power FM transmitter. Each channel can turn on/off, dim, ramp, twinkle, and shimmer independently — all timed to the beat of each song.
Weather & Cancellations
What happens if it rains?
The show is weather permitting. Rain, high winds, or extreme conditions may cause the show to be cancelled or shortened without prior notice. We don't have a hotline — if the weather looks rough, the show is likely off. Clear evenings are the best bet.
How do I know if the show is cancelled tonight?
We don't currently have a real-time cancellation notification system. The safest approach is to check the local weather forecast — if it's raining, the show is likely cancelled. You're also welcome to
email us if you're not sure.
Families, Kids & Pets
Is the show good for young children and babies?
Yes — it's a popular family outing. You can stay warm in your car with the heat on and the radio tuned to 106.9 FM. The show is festive and fun rather than scary. Very young children or those sensitive to flashing lights should be monitored; see our
disclaimer for details.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome if you're walking the neighborhood. Please clean up after your pet and be respectful of neighbors' yards.
Are the lights safe for people with photosensitive epilepsy?
The display includes rapidly flashing and strobing lights. Individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or light-sensitivity should exercise caution or avoid the display. Please read our full
flashing lights warning and consult a physician if you have concerns.
