How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against riveroflights.org. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official River of Lights site lists the 29th annual season as November 28 to January 3 with 5 to 10 p.m. hours and closures on December 24 and 25, which I read as 2026 to 2027, while a tourism listing gives a December 30 end date; prices, 2026 ticket details and Low Sensory Night dates were not found.
