The sparkling display includes frolicking porpoises, leaping dolphins and a 40-foot tall Christmas tree along with Santa and his elves. A highlight is a huge exhibit of the 12 Days of Christmas. The lights are quite an affair, as The American Bus Association includes it in their list of "Top 100 Events in North America for 2011."

Military and their families receive a 50 percent discount on Mondays during December. The location is the stretch of the boardwalk between 2nd and 34th Streets.
