Bayfront Holiday Glow: Annapolis Lights on the Bay Limo Tour

Q: Where is the meeting point?

The meeting point is Annapolis Harry S. Truman Park & Ride --- MD 665 @ Riva Road at Exit 22.

On a chill December evening, Bayside Limousines gathers a small, mixed crowd at the Annapolis Harry S. Truman Park & Ride --- MD 665 @ Riva Road at Exit 22 and slides onto the highway for a 60–90 minute escape to Lights on the Bay at Sandy Point State Park. Located on the western edge of Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, Lights on the Bay is a two-mile, drive-through display that lights up the shoreline with more than 70 animated displays and bayfront panoramas. Traveling in a plush, climate-controlled vehicle means you arrive warm, with music and conversation setting the tone. The tour includes park entrance fees, a custom holiday playlist (or you can queue your own), and optional hot cocoa and treats—little comforts that let you focus on the glow outside the window. What makes this run special is how the displays curve along sandy points and marsh edges, silhouettes of lit Maryland icons reflected in the bay and framed by the low profile of winter grasses. Key scene features include the two-mile illuminated drive-through itself, vantage points at the park entrance and a Chesapeake Bay overlook for perfect photo stops, and animated installations ranging from winter wonderland scenes to playful local motifs. The natural backdrop is the Chesapeake — its briny air, flat water, and occasional squawk of wintering waterfowl turn the lights into a shoreline pageant. As you roll past, the Bay Bridge and the long sweep of the western shore provide context, while salt-marsh grasses and shoreline boulders offer a contrasting, natural texture to the engineered displays. Bayside Limousines runs this as a public hop-on experience, so you can join strangers who quickly become fellow revelers. The event benefits the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, which adds a local, charitable reason to cheer. Practical details: the meeting point is Annapolis Harry S. Truman Park & Ride --- MD 665 @ Riva Road at Exit 22; plan for a 6pm start time and roughly 60–90 minutes on the road. The pickup-and-drop format removes parking hassle, making the night accessible to families, seniors, and anyone who prefers comfort over cold. If you want an easy, festive night out that blends comfortable transport with dramatic bayfront lights and photo-ready overlooks, this tour is exactly that: low-effort, high-impact holiday viewing that supports a local animal charity while putting the Chesapeake in full seasonal display. Folks can purchase 1–28 seats on this public tour, making it easy to join solo travelers or groups; the vehicle atmosphere encourages conversation. Expect minimal walking—most of the route is viewed from the vehicle, with short stops for photos at the park entrance and overlook. Bring layers for chilly bay breezes and a camera steady in low light night.
