The Jones Beach, "Magic of Lights," Is It Worth it?

The Jones Beach annual “Magic of Lights” show will not be stopped by the corona virus this year! To say that the show is quite a hit this year is an understatement. People are waiting in lines for up to two hours just to get in! Harborfields senior, George Pryor, who went to the light show this past Friday told me that he waited in line for over an hour and half, and didn't get into the show until 12am!

It’s crazy to think there will still be around 50 cars behind him when the show closes at 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The last few cars probably didn't get into the light show around 12:30 to one in the morning!

Although the light show is “Magical”, I'm starting to wonder if the two hour wait is worth it. George stated, “Even though the light was pretty and entertaining, I wouldn't say it was worth the two hour wait.”

Though most people don't even have the time to wait in the line, there are still people, including my friends, who are deciding to go to the light show. So if you're thinking about going and have the time while also don't mind the long lines, I suggest you check it out!  Here is some information!
