It's like an orchestra with festive choir and show. It is showing in a church in Tacoma, with ticket starting from $5 per person. And it's one of the best shows I have ever seen. It's a must see show for Christians. It is showing on 12/8-14 (except 12/11)

6. Spanaway park Fantasy light event
Spanaway park in Pierce County offers the biggest drive through Christmas light event in the Northwest, running from 11/23-1/1/2018. It's around $14 per car (some dates have discount). So you don't need to stand in the cold but can admire the beautiful lights in your warm and safe vehicle. There is a very nice sushi restaurant called 'sushi niwa' nearby, which is our favorite place to go whenever we are in that area.
