Magic of Lights™ is partnered with Blues for Kids, the St. Louis Blues' charitable trust. A portion of each Magic of Lights ticket sold will go to Blues for Kids. Blues for Kids, the charitable trust of the St. Louis Blues, has a mission to positively impact programs and services that improve health and wellness of youth in the St. Louis area. Thanks to the commitment of Blues players, alumni, volunteers and fans, Blues for Kids has contributed more than $5 million to the St. Louis community. Blues for Kids focuses on four areas of giving, which include cancer care and awareness, health and wellness, education and youth hockey development.

Magic of Lights'™ family-friendly "one carload, one price" holiday attraction runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. each evening.

The 1.5-mile Magic of Lights™ (@MagicOfLights) course features more than 40 scenes of holiday lights -- more than one million sparkling LED lights. The festival of twinkling, magical holiday lights includes a 200-foot-long light tunnel grand finale. The sparkling LEDs depict the favorite characters of the season, including a back-flipping Santa, nativity scene, animated snowmen, elves, poinsettias, candy canes, toy land, a Victorian village and an enchanted forest. Guests will marvel at the size of the light displays, some as long as 400 feet and standing as tall as buildings.

Hot chocolate, coffee and kettle corn will be available for purchase on weekends. Horse-drawn carriage rides and special party and VIP functions are available.

Advance tickets may be purchased at www.MagicOfLights.com.
