IMPORTANT MAX-CAPACITY UPDATE:
Please be mindful that we can only safely accommodate a limited number of cars on campus at one time. We, with the help of traffic officers, will do our best to serve all of the families who hope to participate in our anticipated Drive-Through, with safety being our top priority. However, in the case of us reaching max capacity on December 10, we might need to shut down the entrance and turn people away. If we happen to encounter a max-capacity situation, we will post live updates on our Facebook event page.
Come celebrate the holiday season with Messiah Lifeways!
Our annual holiday drive-through event will take place on Wednesday, December 10, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
From the warmth of your car, drive through the Messiah Lifeways® at Messiah Village campus, spot fun light displays and holiday decor along the way, and enjoy complimentary hot chocolate to go. Children are also encouraged to bring their letter for Santa. Santa’s helpers will place the letter in his mailbox—ensuring it makes its way to the North Pole in time for Christmas. Click here to download our printable template to write your letter to Santa.
The drive-through is free to all who attend.
Donations are welcome, in person and online, to support the Messiah Lifeways’ Endowment Fund. Click the button below to visit our donation form. Once in the form, under “Donation Type,” select “Holiday Drive-Through.“
There will be signs and traffic officers helping to direct drivers. You will follow the flow of traffic through campus to view the festive decor, later exiting through the west entrance on the other side of campus, onto Beechwood Drive and Nittany Drive.
To ensure safety and traffic flow, only a limited number of cars will be admitted into the drive-through at one time. Additionally, all attendees are expected to remain in their vehicles at all times.
In the case of inclement weather, please check back here for updates.
We hope you and your loved ones join us for this special drive-through event!
