Halloween Events
September 22, 2023 through October 31, 2023
Mobile International Speedway, time slots vary
For those who love to get in the holiday spirit by looking at lights, our immersive drive through experience returns to Mobile, Alabama in 2023. Our “Thriller Nights in Lights,” and “Christmas Nights In Lights” attraction at Mobile International Speedway needs to be added to the absolutely must-see list. “Nights In Lights” is making its return to Mobile this year. Located at 7800 Park Blvd in Irvington, AL, just a few minutes from Tillman’s Corner, “Nights In Lights” will be taking over the race track as guests will slowly cruise through in their own vehicles. A visit to the attraction will take viewers through a showcase of over one million lights and holiday displays plus actually drive on the race track itself. Plus, the lights will be synchronized to “dance” to the best holiday classics for both Halloween and Christmas played through each vehicle’s car stereo on a private radio frequency.
