Embrace the Spooky Season at Nooga Lights at the Chattanooga Choo Choo!

It’s October, and that means things are getting spooky at the Chattanooga Choo Choo! All season long, from October to December, you can come out to Nooga Lights to experience a light show like no other.

This year, the Choo Choo is elevating the experience with a thrilling spooktacular theme! Guests can wander through a courtyard filled with eerie glowing ghosts while enjoying a dazzling light display synchronized to an hour of spine-tingling Halloween music, kicking off each night at 6 PM!

“We got this vision about a year ago at the Choo Choo to come out here and do something for the community. They had a beautiful courtyard, and it needed some lights that are all programmed to music, so it’s pretty high tech,” said John Haustein Owner of Nooga Lights.

The setup process is no small task! From hanging the lights to configuring the complex synchronization system, the team has put in countless hours of hard work. “This took us a full year to build the props. The programming of the lights was quite the undertaking,” said John.

And just when you think it can’t get any better, mark your calendars because after a brief hiatus, Nooga Lights will return for the Christmas season!

“We’re going to run through November 3, and with Halloween falling on a Thursday this year, we’ll shut down for nine days and then come back on November 15 with a whole different Christmas-themed show that will run all the way through December 31,” said Haustein.

This magical holiday presentation will feature all the festive lights you know and love, along with even more synchronized music to make your season bright!
