Christmas In Color Is Now Open At A New Location In Southern Idaho

Not only did the Christmas music officially begin today in the Magic Valley but it’s also the day for one of the biggest Christmas light displays in Idaho to start shining.

Christmas In Color Has a New Home For 2024 in Idaho

Christmas in Color is a massive drive-thru light show in Southern Idaho and it has a fantastic new home this year: Roaring Springs! The only thing that would make it better is if it were warm and you could ride the slides and they were covered in bright Christmas lights. But this is real life and the event is still awesome.

Christmas in Color in Meridian will have the world’s longest Christmas light tunnel at 700 feet, a giant 65-foot tall Christmas Tree, and more than 1 million lights that would make Clark Griswold proud.

The event used to be held at Expo Idaho, but the new location seems perfect for a huge sight-seeing event like this. If you’re worried about the wintry weather, don’t be. Christmas in Color is a drive thru attraction, so you stay warm and comfortable in your car.

Entry prices are per car, so find someone with a sunroof or large windows on their vehicle so you don’t miss any of the beautiful lights. It usually takes about half an hour to get through the show.
