Experience the Country’s Largest Light Show on a Natural Canvas

Sedona Northern Lights Holiday Spectacular

From December 14-17, Sedona Northern Lights will bring Sedona’s stunning landscape to life.

Celebrate the spirit of the holiday season in Sedona with the country’s largest light show on a natural canvas: Sedona Northern Lights. This massive holiday light show, occurring for only four nights from December 14-17, 2017, will showcase Sedona’s profound beauty, thriving arts scene, dark skies and enchanting landscapes through a groundbreaking 3D mapping project in a natural setting. Presented by the City of Sedona, the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau and the Sedona Arts Center, Sedona Northern Lights will bring together light, art and nature to create a festive and awe-inspiring family-friendly experience.

This holiday light spectacular will use projection mapping, which is a high-tech method of turning objects—often irregularly shaped—into display surfaces for video projection. By projecting 3D art onto Camelhead Rock (located next to Sedona’s famous Snoopy Rock formation), Sedona Northern Lights will virtually transform the natural landscape, making it the country’s largest natural 3D light painting experience.
