The holidays shift into high gear at Six Flags White Water in Marietta on November 13, 2026. That’s when the World of Illumination launches Rockin’ Christmas, a mile-long symphony of sight and sound that transforms the venue into a full-throttle musical extravaganza.
Hosted by the animated MC Mic, this drive-through light show features millions of colorful lights and hundreds of illuminated displays synchronized to holiday music.
World of Illumination’s Rockin’ Christmas at Six Flags White Water: What To Know
Guests stay in the comfort of their own vehicles as they cruise through a high-energy concert of light. Expect life-sized musical notes, a tunnel of giant headphones, a swirling jingle bells vortex, towering stacks of oversized speakers, Christmas tree guitars, and a retro Santa spinning records old-school style. Every display pulses in perfect sync with a festive soundtrack of holiday hits and upbeat tunes, creating an immersive experience that feels like Christmas cranked to full volume.
The show runs Tuesday through Sunday from November 13, 2026, through January 3, 2027. Gates open at 6:00 PM with last entry at 10:00 PM. Tickets start at $39.99 per vehicle (one ticket covers the entire car, regardless of how many people are inside) and are sold online only in advance. Pricing varies by date, so booking early is recommended, especially for weekends closer to Christmas. The event is open rain or shine, pets are welcome inside the vehicle, and outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed (no concessions on site).
The drive typically takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Upon arrival at 250 Cobb Parkway N., Marietta, GA, guests follow signage to the entrance, tune their radio to the custom station, and proceed at a leisurely pace through the synchronized displays. World of Illumination creates a brand-new theme every season, so returning visitors will find an entirely fresh show rather than a repeat of previous years like Candy Rush
This family-friendly attraction has become a metro Atlanta holiday staple precisely because it lets everyone—kids, parents, grandparents, and friends—enjoy the spectacle together without leaving the car. Pack some holiday snacks, roll down the windows if the weather allows, and let MC Mic guide you through a night of glowing speakers, pulsing notes, and electric holiday cheer.
