Tonight—and for one night only—pedal your bike through the biggest holiday light show West of the Mississippi at the 6th Annual "Bike The Lights" event.

Recognized throughout the Pacific Northwest as the "Largest Holiday Light Show West of the Mississippi", the 22nd annual Winter Wonderland will grab your attention with spectacular displays around every corner, while you ride your bike on the racetrack surface at Portland International Raceway (PIR).

Since 1993, Winter Wonderland has become an annual tradition for many families and friends to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season. Starting at Thanksgiving and running until just after Christmas, the event is open for bike riders to spectate by bike one special evening, unperturbed by vehicular traffic.

Enjoy the most wonderfully wintery drive-through light show, featuring over 250 colorful light set pieces and many fully animated scenes.

Tonight, head out with your friends and family to PIR and “Bike the Lights”. Entry fee is $6.00* per rider over 12, and proceeds benefit the Bicycle Transportation Alliance. Be sure to bring cash or check only—no credit or debit cards will be accepted.
