World of Illumination: A Drive-Through Light Show at Orland Square

World of Illumination's Cosmic Sleighride brings a massive animated drive-through light show to Orland Square Mall from Nov 13, 2026 through Jan 3, 2027, open nightly 6 to 10 p.m., rain or shine.

World of Illumination's Cosmic Sleighride turns the Orland Square Mall parking lot into a giant animated holiday light show, open Nov 13, 2026 through Jan 3, 2027, nightly from 6 to 10 p.m., rain or shine. Billed as the world's largest drive-through light show, it threads a glowing, music-synced route right through the mall lots, so the whole family stays warm in the car while the lights do the work. It runs all through the holiday season, which makes it a reliable pick for the weekends of November and December alike. For a full Orland Park holiday day, pair it with the village's Christmas Parade, Tree Lighting & Festival on Saturday, Nov 28.
