For 25 years Hanover locals have celebrated the holiday season with Lights on the Bay, a festive two-mile drive-through light show on the Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point State Park. Along the route you'll enjoy more than 70 lighted displays, ranging from animated elves at the North Pole and USNA midshipmen tossing their hats into the air, to stationary landscapes representing local history. Bringing the kids? Make sure to request scavenger hunt materials for them when you enter, and they’ll be able to have fun answering trivia questions and searching for specific characters within the show. Best of all, proceeds from the show go to benefit the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, so you can feel good knowing that your entrance fee is helping homeless pets. Admission is $20 per car, and the show is open from 5 pm to 10 pm nightly through January 1.
