SHAKOPEE, Minn. — Twinkle, twinkle little stars, penguins, and trees galore.
Sever's Holiday Lights are glowing brightly in Shakopee.
This winter show takes a lot of help to set up: 1,000 hours of work, to be exact. It also need a lot of extension cords. More than 13,000 feet of them are powering the display.
But the results are incredible; 2 million lights synchronized to holiday tunes. And unlike regular light strands, these are all high-efficiency LED bulbs that have an 18-year life.
So, no searching around for that elusive burned-out bulb to get the lights shining again.
If you're not impressed yet, just think about how big this show is.
It spans 21 acres, which you can conveniently drive-thru.
Also new this year, a 200-foot synchronized tunnel and a giant drive-thru curtain that's more than 35 feet tall.
That's like two of Bemidji's Paul Bunyan statues stacked on top of each other.
On Fridays and Saturdays, you might just catch a fire dancer or Saint Nick paying a visit.
And be sure to bundle up! This tour also includes a stop at a Selfie Park, with a handful of lit installations to snap your perfect pose.
