COLUMBIA, S.C. - The Columbia Fireflies announced today that Fireflies Holiday Lights will return to the Midlands for a fifth holiday season. The event will open on Friday, November 20 and will remain open until Sunday, January 3.

The Miracle on BullStreet returns to Segra Park and promises to be bolder and brighter than ever with over 2 million lights, up from 1.7 million lights a year ago. The lights will be closed on Thanksgiving Day (November 26), Christmas Day (December 25) and New Years Day (January 1).

The Lights will be open from 6 pm to 9 pm every night, with last entry into the park at 8:30 pm. Check for special hours on select days including Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Nearly 58,000 guests enjoyed the event last year, and five nights sold out, making it a destination for holiday magic and affordable family fun in the Midlands.

A Holiday Light Show Built for Columbia Families

Fireflies Holiday Lights transforms Segra Park into a walk-through light display, giving families the chance to step onto the field and experience the lights up close.

Fans can attend Fireflies Holiday Lights for $10 in November and $12 in December and January. Prices will increase by $2 per ticket on the day of the event to reflect the Fireflies day of event pricing.

Children age two and younger can attend for free and military members, first responders and seniors age 65 and up can receive $2 off each ticket with a valid ID.

2 million lights. This is an increase from 1.7 million in 2025 and from 1.5 million in 2024.
