2023 - Shadrack’s Christmas Adventure – the Award-Winning, Drive-Through Christmas Light Show Comes to Hawkeye Downs Speedway & Expo Center

New in 2023, see the very first drive-through Christmas storybook in lights where the illustrated art is larger-than-life. The lights are synchronized and saturating. The sound is festive. The special effects are unexpected. All combined, IT’S EPIC! This immersive adventure is unlike any other light show anywhere. It’s a whole new concept in Christmas entertainment.

Cedar Rapids, IA – The very first drive-through Christmas storybook in lights is making its grand debut at Hawkeye Downs Speedway, where imagination meets reality, and Christmas comes to life in an unprecedented fashion. This enchanting experience pulls you into a larger-than-life storybook adventure. You are part of the story this holiday season! Christmas gets BIG at Shadrack’s Super-Sized Christmas Adventure when a mishap during a tour of Santa’s Workshop sends you on an unexpected journey. Santa’s Shrink Ray accidentally hits your car instead of the presents it was aiming for, plunging you and your family into a world of super-sized toys, characters, and imagination.

Along the route, unexpected special effects unfold around you, like racing reindeer stampeding by, smoke rolling out of a giant toy train, sound effects, and more! The whole journey is set to a soundtrack of tunes straight from some of your favorite holiday movies! This innovative concept pushes the boundaries of Christmas entertainment, delivering an unforgettable journey for all ages.

If you manage to “grow” back to normal, be sure to celebrate in Santa's Village after the show with a variety of tasty treats, activities for kids and families, and even meet with the jolliest man himself, Santa Claus (on select nights).

As the pioneers of drive-thru Christmas light shows synchronized to music, Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland has been creating magical Christmas experiences for guests for nearly two decades. For the family owned and operated company, this show is a labor of love; it’s their expression of Christmas through lights and music. They invite you to join them for a brand-new tradition at Hawkeye Downs Speedway.

This limited time attraction will take place nightly from November 17, 2023 through January 7, 2024, including all holidays. For more information and details about the show, please visit the link below.
