The Messick’s Christmas Light show features more than 70,000 Christmas lights choreographed to Christmas music.

Messick's Equipment in Mount Joy, Pa., announced the opening of its Christmas Light Show for its 11th year.

The show is free and open to the public and the community is invited to either drive up and watch the show from their car, or park and watch the show from the bleachers. The show will be full of tractors, lights and energy-filled Christmas music.

Last year, Messick's collected $64,700 of donations at the Christmas Light Show, bringing the 10-year total of donations raised to $431,000.

The Messick's Christmas Light show features more than 70,000 Christmas lights choreographed to Christmas music, which is broadcast to FM radio you can enjoy from your car or through the speakers. The light show includes dozens of Kubota tractors and excavators, which are integrated into the show by using the machine as part of the display.

Throughout the show, volunteers from Messick's will be collecting donations which benefit five local charities. One hundred percent of the proceeds collected go to Mennonite Disaster Service, ECHOS (Elizabethtown Community Housing and Outreach Services), Paxton Ministries and the Water Street Rescue Mission.

Messick's Christmas Light Show opens Dec. 1 and runs every evening through Dec. 29 from 6:00 - 9:30pm.

Messick's Farm Equipment is located at 1475 Strickler Road in Mount Joy.
