Explore Birmingham’s Wacky Tacky Light Tour This Holiday Season!
Hey there, Birmingham! Are you ready to get into the holiday spirit? One of the best ways to celebrate this festive season in our beautiful city is by checking out the dazzling displays of lights that decorate homes throughout the neighborhoods. And guess what? This year marks the 14th annual Wacky Tacky Light Tour, which has become a treasured tradition for families across the Magic City!
A Tradition Like No Other
Founded in 2006, the Wacky Tacky Light Tour is an amazing initiative by a wonderful non-profit organization known as the Fresh Air Family. For over a decade, they have been serving up a two-hour tour filled with some of the most outrageous and colorful holiday lights Birmingham has to offer! The tour has evolved into a festive gathering that not only entertains but also supports a fantastic cause.
Do you want to know what makes this light tour even more special? All the proceeds from this magical event go towards helping kids participate in various programs, most notably the “Gross Out Camp.” This award-winning summer program gets kids outside and learning about science and nature in a fun and engaging way. Isn’t that just fantastic? Last year alone, they managed to provide over $62,000 in financial assistance, ensuring that more children get to enjoy this enriching camp experience!
Hop on the Luxury Buses
Now, let’s talk about the tour itself. Picture this: you and your loved ones boarding one of the luxury tour buses. Ready to roll? The buses leave every 15 minutes and promise to take you on a whirlwind journey through all the most dazzling and delightful decorations set up by local families. As the lights sparkle and twinkle, you can soak in the joy and creativity that our neighbors pour into their displays. Trust us, it’s a sight to behold!
Curated Just for You
What’s cool about this event is that the route is *personally curated* for your viewing pleasure. The organizers promise that the standards for the displays are low, making room for everyone to have fun with their light shows! Whether you love classic holiday cheer or you’re more into the completely bizarre, there’s something for everyone on this unique tour!
