Free Drive Thru This Year!

The swamp will once again be lit up with Holiday Lights! However, in consideration of the safety of our staff and guests, the 2020 Holiday Light Show will be a little different than it has been for the past 19 wonderful years. To ensure your safety in these uncertain times, we will be offering a drive through Holiday Light Show at the Okefenokee Swamp Park. The lights will begin on Friday, November 27th and will be open through the weekend from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm. The lights will be FREE; however, donations are accepted to help cover expenses.

Please keep an eye on our page for more updates on the full calendar of dates.
