Have you heard about the Smith Point Light Show held in Smith Point County Park in Shirley, Long Island, New York? It’s a drive-through event, and all 1.5 miles of it are filled with awesome Christmas-themed displays.
It’s the 17th time this Holiday Light Show makes its appearance, but don’t think that you’ve seen everything they have to offer. This year there will be new light displays, including one designed by Girl Scouts!
You and your loved ones will get to see gorgeous light displays and have a great time filled with Christmas spirit! You’ll also help the Girl Scouts grow and keep making the world a better place.
So if you’re curious, here is what you should know about the show.
Smith Point Light Show Organizers
Girl Scouts of Suffolk County, with the help of County Executive Steve Bellone, organized this event for you. The Girl Scouts is an organization that teaches girls practical knowledge by arranging various activities for them, such as camping, selling cookies, working in a team.
It’s an amazing program that makes all girls more confident, more adaptive, and brave. And you can show your support for this great idea if you come to the Light Show.
All the money collected during the event will benefit the programs of Girl Scouts of Suffolk County.
