Why Holidays In the Sky Is A Can’t-Miss Show!

By HoliBlogger Don H.

If you’re looking for a spectacular summer experience, look no further than Holidays in the Sky at Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari. As someone who’s witnessed this awe-inspiring show, I can assure you it’s a show you won’t want to miss.

Running daily now through August 4, Holidays in the Sky lights up the night at the Santa Claus, Indiana theme park with an innovative combination of 500 LED-lit drones and a breathtaking fireworks display. Every night at 9 p.m. CDT, the skies over Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari are transformed into a canvas of dazzling lights and captivating animations, celebrating Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and the Fourth of July. The show’s grand finale of fireworks is truly a sight to behold and the perfect way to end a fun-filled day at Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, making it an unforgettable highlight of your summer.

One of the things that sets this year’s Holiday in the Skys apart from previous years is that the show is now America’s first audience-participation drone show! From the moment Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari opens each day until 5 p.m. CDT, guests can cast their votes via QR codes scattered throughout the park to determine the show’s final formation for that night. This level of engagement makes Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari a true pioneer in the theme park drone show arena.

Best Place to Watch

The best place to enjoy Holidays in the Sky is the Party Plaza, located near the Good Gravy! and Stuffing Springs area in the Thanksgiving section. Arrive early to grab snacks, drinks, and light-up souvenirs. The festivities kick off at 8:30 p.m. CDT with “Light the Night,” a DJ-led dance party that gets everyone in the mood for the main event.

For an even more exclusive experience, consider the Drone Show Dessert Party. For just $29.99 per person, you get the best views, delectable desserts, and an unparalleled vantage point for enjoying the drone show and fireworks.

Another option to consider is the Drone Show Dessert Party + Tour, which includes front-of-the-line access and reserved seating and desserts. You get four hours of escorted front-of-the-line access, HoliCash, a Souvenir Lanyard, and an All-Day Digital Photo Pass. This deal is the best way to make the most of your day at Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari.
