Light Show Schedule
The Light Show was instrumental in keeping The Barn III afloat during the uncertainty of COVID closures. During a period of darkness, we were also able to safely share joy and entertainment with our friends, neighbors, community and customers. We have decided to make the Barn's twinkling lights a permanent part of our identity moving forward. After all, they helped light the way for our business during a time of great uncertainty. For that, we will always be grateful!
2021 Musical Christmas Light Show
Come one, come all to the Annual Barn III Musical Christmas Light Show!
We are thrilled to bring the magic of our twinkling lights back to our community this holiday season! Now that our Dinner Theatre is back up and operating, finding evenings when our parking lot is open and available has been a challenge. Please note the dates/times below. This season, not ALL of our light shows will be staffed. If you’d like to come out when we have parking attendants, bar service and character appearances, please check the dates listed here or our website/social media pages. As always, the light show is free to the public but donations are greatly appreciated! Also, if something doesn’t go right, we are sorry, facebook message us and we’ll do our best to fix the problem! But, as is the case with technology, sometimes it’s not an easy fix - 6,000 lights can be a lot to troubleshoot! We appreciate your patience AND the continued support of this NEW part of The Barn III’s story! Who would have thought we would find such JOY and LIGHT during the great pause of 2020!?! We continue to be thankful for the opportunity to share the joy of the holiday season with you all, inside AND outside this year!
ALL SHOWS will begin ON THE HOUR starting at 5pm. The show lasts about 30 mins and another 30 mins of twinkling will take place to give time for cars to come and go. The last show will play at 10pm. The Barn will go dark at 10:30pm firm for every show but January 1, 2022 (midnight).
Musical Christmas Light Show Opens Thanksgiving Night from 5pm - 10pm!
This will be our test show to make sure all the bells and whistles are working properly. It will not be staffed but Abby’s family will be around tinkering. No parking assistance or lobby access but you may get to see a bit of the magic behind the scenes as Abby runs around like a crazy person!

Keeping the lights on into 2021
Thank you for coming to see our Musical Light Show!
When life gives you a global pandemic, we put up some Christmas lights...and I guess we'll just leave them up!
Here's some general info our about Musical Light Shows:
-
The light show is FREE, but donations are appreciated! Some months donations will be collected on behalf of local non-profits.
-
Each show lasts approx 30-45 minutes with fun themed "commercials" in between!
-
If you'd like a front row spot, please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before the show begins.
-
Unless otherwise posted, the Barn III lobby will be closed and the light show not be staffed. During special seasons/holidays we may host an outdoor bar and have the lobby open and available to the public. Please plan ahead! Bathrooms will not be available unless specifically listed in our publicity.
-
The show will play come rain or shine (or snow) but sometimes major technical errors can occur due to power outages - all cancellations will be posted on our social media pages as soon as we are aware of them.
-
You are welcome to get out of your car and dance!
-
Please be mindful of your car battery! Over the holiday season, we would regularly have to jump car batteries. If you put your engine into standby mode and only listen to the radio it can quickly drain your battery!
-
Please know if you've arrived to see a show...and for some reason it's not playing there may have been a weather related or technical difficulty. We are not always on site when the show is running unless we have stated that the Barn will be open on the schedule listed above! If you pull in and it's not playing, send us a facebook message and we'll do our best to make it happen. Alas, we may not be able to help in the moment!
