When & Where?

Event Date: Saturday, August 26th, 2023

‍Location: Auto City Speedway

‍Address: 10205 N Saginaw Rd, Clio, MI 48420

‍

What Time?

Gates Open: 4:00 PM

Enjoy food, games, music, and entertainment. The event area is general admission, so the earlier you are, the better spot you’ll have.

Arrive No Later Than: 7:00 PM

This is so you can avoid traffic, collect your lanterns, get settled, and enjoy the live music vibe. The gates won’t close after then, but the lanterns don’t wait for those who are late.

Lantern Launch: After Sunset

We don’t post an exact time for the launch. The launch time is dependent on weather & wind conditions and fire marshal approval but it typically takes place anytime between sunset and 90 minutes after sunset. Pay special attention to the stage for updates.

Event Ends: 10:30 PM

Plan on 30-60 minutes to exit parking areas. Feel free to hang out a bit after the launch to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

Bring your e-Tickets with you.

When you purchased your tickets, you should have received an email with your ticket barcodes.

It really speeds things up if you can print your tickets in advance and bring them with you.

If you don’t have access to a printer, pull them up on your phone and take a screenshot because the cell service might be spotty at the venue.
‍

Can’t find the email with your tickets?

Search your inbox and check your spam/junk folder — sometimes the emails land there.

• The subject line will be: “Here are your tickets for Night Lights Event!”
• And the email is coming from: “orders@nightlightsevent.com”

If you still can’t find them, click the button below to open a request with our customer service team. They are awesome and they’ll get back with you fast.

If all else fails, GO TO THE EVENT. Our team can look up your order with your name, email, or phone number at the yellow check-in tents.

Priority Access Kits

If you added Priority Access to your order, you should receive a kit with your wristbands, a copy of the waiver, and a few other goodies.

You should have a special email and text message with all of these details.

If you have a Priority Access Kit, here’s what you need to do:

• Save a copy of your e-Tickets to your phone just in case.
• Sign your waiver before you head to the event.
• Bring your wristbands with you and put them on before you enter the venue.
• Make sure you bring your lantern claim cards. They are gold and you can’t miss ‘em. :)
• Walk around the registration lines, and drop your signed waiver with someone on our team.

We get a lot of questions about coolers, pets, chairs, and blankets.

Bring this:

• Camp Chairs: You’ll be glad you brought one.
• Proper Shoes: It can be dusty or muddy so plan accordingly.
• Jacket or Hoodie: You’ll need one for when it cools down.
• Blankets: You’ll want one to sit on, and one to cuddle with.

• Markers: If you want additional colors to decorate your lantern.

‍

Tickets Required for Entry

Tickets are required for all attendees ages 7 and older. Children under 6 enter for free.
‍

Weather Dependent

Our number 1 priority is holding a safe event that brings the community together to make magical memories. Because Night Lights takes place in outdoor venues, it is highly dependent on the weather including rain, wind, and lightning.
‍

Postponements are Possible

While we will never cancel an event because of weather or environmental conditions, conditions may necessitate a postponement to a later date. If this happens your tickets will automatically transfer to a new make-up date.
‍

Tickets are Non-Refundable

Similar to a sporting event or concert, Night Lights Event has a no-refunds policy. If you purchased tickets and cannot attend, you may qualify for a transfer or future credit, but you will not be eligible to receive a refund unless you purchased Ticket Protection. All ticket transfers and refund requests must be submitted BEFORE the date of the event.
