Mountain Country Christmas in Lights 2026 is a holiday treat for the entire family at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee, GA along the shores of beautiful Lake Chatuge in the Northeast Georgia mountains. The Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds will transform into a spectacular, magical holiday walk through light show immersed in Christmas music, arts and crafts, food, fun, entertainment, photo opportunities, train rides, and a visit with Santa Claus!  

Event runs 6pm-9pm every Thursday, Friday, & Saturday from November 26 - December 12th. Open EVERY night from December 17th - 23rd! (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) 

*Special Drive Thru on Christmas Eve! We will open from 6pm-9pm. There will be no magic show, train rides, or craft vendors. This is strictly a drive thru event. Santa will obviously be at the North Pole preparing for his big night. 

Admission will be $25 per car - CASH ONLY. Because we will have limited staff we can not process credit cards, so please pay with cash.
