Welcome to our 2020 Light Show! We welcome you during December to join in the festivities of the season and enjoy our Christmas Light Show! This has been a challenging year, but we are still able to put on our light show as this is a perfect socially distanced program.
Donations are accepted to support the Mission and Outreach of First Baptist Church of South Plainfield (donation box is on historical marker in front of church; feel free to pull in driveway instead of walking across the street). You can also make a donation online here.
Our show will run from 5:00 until 9:00 PM every week night from December 1 through January 1 and 5:00 until 10:00 PM on weekends. The show features music and the Christmas Story. Make sure you tune your radio to 89.3 FM so you can listen in the comfort of your car!
We are located on a heavily traveled road until about 7 PM. Please follow posted parking on Hamilton Blvd. or Church St. If you come later in the evening, traffic eases and you will have a great view of the house and church! We hope you enjoy our show.
