The Addition Financial Arena is about to light up all of Orlando with its transformation into a magical world of holiday fun. Light Up UCF is a holiday tradition that consists of 50 nights of holiday festivities and more that are fun for all.
The festival is well known for it's nightly Holiday Light Show that leaves everyone mesmerized. 150,000 individual lights create a glimmering sensation as they pulse and strobe in perfect synchronization to holiday music. The free show begins at 7 p.m. daily and continues hourly through closing.
Another family favorite event that is free of charge is the Holiday Film Festival. The select movie nights begin at 7 p.m. & 9:30 p.m and will display classic holiday on their large two-story outdoor screen, complete with surround sound and the beauty of the night sky.
This season, Light Up UCF is also offering all-new rides and attractions. Rides include the Winter Whirl, the Light Up Express Train, and a Ferris wheel that will give you the perfect view of the Holiday Light Show. Santa will be available in the Barnes & Noble to listen to your Christmas wishes and take photos. There will also be talented acts from all over Central Florida performing on the Community Performance Stage. Performers include the UCF Marching Knights, local musicians, and dancers, area high school bands and choirs, and more.
Whether you're good at it or not, everyone has a love for ice skating. Orlando's largest outdoor skating rink can be found here, and the cost is only $12. No need to dig out your ice skates from your closet that have been collecting dust; skate rentals are included with the ticket price.
The festivities take place from November 22nd through January 5th. Entry into the event is free, along with free parking. Check out the full list of events for Light Up UCF to make sure you don't miss out on any of the holiday fun!
