The sun goes down, and the lights turn on and turn up the holiday spirit at Jones Beach State Park.

News 12 drove through the Magic of Lights on this Road Trip: Close to Home.

The two mile drive once again dazzles with displays.

See holiday classics from the comfort of your car, plus the prehistoric Christmas section and other new additions.

And if you want to get out of your car, the Holiday Village is back. It's all outdoors but you do have to wear your mask!

The village includes the concessions and a brand new ice rink.

And Santa Claus is coming to this town, so you can get your photo taken with him.

Tickets are per car load and give back to Mothers Against Drunk Driving and New York State parks.

You can visit the Magic of Lights seven days a week rain or shine.

The Magic of Lights opens Nov. 19 and runs through Jan. 2.
