Madison, WI – Dane County Regional Airport (DCRA) will host its fifth annual “Flight of Lights” (www.flightoflights.com) drive-through light display along International Lane in Madison. “Flight of Lights” is free of charge and will open Friday, March 15th, running daily from 7:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. through April 7th, 2024.   
 

“What began as a way to bring joy to the community and our travelers during the pandemic, has now grown into a tradition people look forward to every spring, for five years running,” said County Executive Joe Parisi. “Flight of Lights is just one of many ways DCRA serves our great community,” he said.  
 

“Flight of Lights” features six different themes along the mile and a half long route, including tributes to first responders; the medical community; Wisconsin sports; animals and nature; tropical and nautical; and some favorite destinations. Vehicles can enter the “Flight of Lights” route via International Lane in Madison. In addition, this year’s show includes even more lights throughout the drive, fully-illuminated vehicles, and solar-powered displays. More information is available at www.flightoflights.com.
 

“’Flight of Lights’ is one of the airport’s ways of saying thank you to the community, and thank you for traveling with us,” said Airport Director Kim Jones. “The event has truly become a celebration that kicks off the spring and summer travel seasons, so please join us,” Jones added.
 

“Flight of Lights” is a collaboration between Dane County Regional Airport, Dane County, Dane County Parks, Traditions Specialty Lighting, Affirm Agency, and Olin Park Holiday Fantasy in Lights.  Media resources about “Flight of Lights” can be found at www.flightoflights.com/media/.
