Hamilton’s Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum is upping the wow factor of this year’s drive-thru holiday light display.

Transforming from Holiday Lights on the Hill to Journey BOREALIS, this year’s illuminated spectacle will be a “visual art experience that showcases local and regional new media and light-based artists,” says Pyramid Hill.

Overseen by light design company Brave Berlin — part of Cincinnati’s BLINK art and light festival — for the past two years, the show has previously included two-and-a-half miles of creative, glowing scenes and projection-mapped sculptural installations. This year’s multimedia drive-thru experience will expand to include 1,000,000 lights and immersive holiday art installations, soundtracked to music by the Cincinnati Boychoir and Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra.

“The entire Pyramid Hill team is proud to present Journey BOREALIS, an event that is focused on collaborative partnerships with regional arts organizations like the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and the Cincinnati Boychoir,” said Pyramid Hill’s Executive Director Sean FitzGibbons. “Presenting a safe, drivable, holiday light experience that stands as a creative outlet for local artists is extremely important to the park.”

Journey BOREALIS opens Nov. 20 and runs 6-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 6-10 p.m. Friday-Sunday through Jan. 3. 

Pyramid Hill is located at 1763 Hamilton Cleves Road, Hamilton. More info: pyramidhill.org.
