Dasher’s Lightshow “A Christmas Spectacular” is Open at Newark Moonlight
Dasher’s Lightshow has returned for the second year of the immersive drive-thru Christmas light show at Newark Moonlight, an outdoor entertainment venue.
The light show is a partnership between Ayana and Siree Morris, owners of Newark Moonlight Cinema, and Jon Prebish from Dasher’s Lightshow. The two entities are thrilled to bring the socially distant, family-fun experience back to Newark after seeing over 15,000 cars last year.

Dasher’s has officially changed the way we do Christmas! The lights are far more interactive and patrons can enjoy the sync of the singing snowman and the holiday songs from the comfort of their own car. This year patrons can look forward to an even more extensive experience with the addition of a Christmas patio, outdoor eating provided by Little Tijuana, and photos with Santa Clause.
“We had to make many changes this year with Newark Moonlight but I am happy that the light show is here to stay. We are lighting up the city in such a beautiful way and creating a unique experience right in our backyard.” – said Ayana Morris, co-owner of Newark Moonlight Cinema.
“Christmas is my favorite time of the year and nothing makes me happier than turning on the lights! Hands down, we have the best light show in NJ.” – Siree Morris, co-owner of Newark Moonlight Cinema.

“In year 2 we hope to see more families and touch more hearts. We know that Christmas is an especially joyous time of the year. We want families all over the country to feel that energy and feel safe while doing so. We are happy to return to Newark Moonlight and be a part of the community.” – Jon Prebish, managing partner of Dasher’s Lightshow
The light show opened on Friday, November 25 and will run until December 31, 2022. General admission tickets are $29.99 with the available options of skipping the line, a double play (going through the experience twice) and a season pass.
Families can connect their vehicle’s radio to 97.5FM to listen to their favorite holiday tunes and watch the hundreds of thousands of lights dance and blink in sync with the music. At the recommended speed of 5pmh, the show takes approximately 30 minutes.
The light show is open 7 days a week, starting at 5 pm and the latest entry at 10:30 pm.
