Looking for something new, different and FREE to enjoy this holiday season?  Newport on the Levee has THE show for you and your family.  The Levee’s Holiday Light Show, Light Up the Levee, will illuminate the exterior Riverwalk from the Gallery Building to the Newport Aquarium featuring LED lights dancing in synchronization to holiday music.  Over one million lights comprise the Levee’s holiday package this season.  The energy efficient LED lights last up to 70 times longer and use one-tenth of the electricity of standard incandescent bulbs.  The display will include a 30-foot tall Christmas tree, ten- and 20-foot spiral trees, five-foot snowflakes, wreaths and more. 

“This computerized light display gives our visitors another unique experience when they visit the Levee this holiday season,” said P. Ellen Prows, General Manager of Newport on the Levee.

18 impressive shows will take place daily beginning at 6:10 p.m., every 20 minutes with the last show at 11:50 p.m.  The animated lighting shows will run November 18, 2009, through January 10, 2010.
