The Ultimate Guide To ROC Lights Tickets: Where The Magical Drive-Through Show Moved For 2025
Stop searching for "ROC Lights at Victor Hills tickets"—the drive-through holiday light show you know and love has officially moved and been completely rebranded for the 2025 season! As of today, December 25, 2025, the spectacular display that once illuminated the Victor Hills Golf Club is now part of the much larger "Holiday Spectacular at Blue Barn's Campus" in Hilton, New York. This is a critical update for anyone planning their annual holiday light excursion in the Greater Rochester area, as the former location is no longer hosting the event.
This transition means a new venue, new attractions, and a fresh experience, but the core magic—featuring many of the original dazzling light installations—remains the same. To secure your spot for the 2025 holiday season, you will need to purchase timed-entry tickets for the West Wind Farm Holiday Light Show, which is the centerpiece of the new campus-wide event.
The ROC Lights Evolution: From Victor Hills to West Wind Farm
The "ROC Lights at Victor Hills" event quickly became one of the most popular holiday traditions in the Rochester, NY region, known for its extensive, scenic drive-through display winding through the golf course trails.
However, the 2024 season marked the final run at the Victor Hills Golf Club location in Victor, New York. The organizers announced a move to a new, expansive venue to create an even grander, more comprehensive "Holiday Spectacular" experience.
The new home for the light show is West Wind Farm at Blue Barn's Campus in Hilton, New York. This move is significant because it transforms the light show from a standalone drive-through event into a destination with multiple festive activities and amenities, all centered around the new light display.
Key Differences Between the Old and New Locations
- Old Location: Victor Hills Golf Club (Victor, NY, Ontario County). Primarily a drive-through light show.
- New Location (2025): West Wind Farm at Blue Barn Cidery (Hilton, NY). A full "Holiday Spectacular" featuring the drive-through show plus walk-up amenities.
- The Event: The new event is officially called the West Wind Farm Holiday Light Show, serving as the continuation of the ROC Lights tradition.
- Added Attractions: The new campus includes access to Blue Barn Cidery (reimagined as Santa's Workshop) for festive food, drink specials, and the Pomona Express experience.
2025 West Wind Farm Holiday Light Show Ticket Pricing and Purchase Guide
The most important detail for attendees is the ticketing process. The show remains a drive-through experience, and tickets are sold per vehicle, not per person. To manage traffic flow and ensure a pleasant experience, all tickets are sold as timed-entry passes and must be purchased online in advance.
Official 2025 Ticket Tiers (Per Vehicle)
While prices are subject to change, the standard pricing structure for the 2025 season is based on vehicle size and includes all passengers up to the stated limit.
- General Admission (Standard Vehicle): Approximately $40.00 per vehicle. This covers standard vehicles carrying 1 to 7 passengers. This is the core ticket for the drive-through light show experience.
- Over-Sized Vehicle Admission: A separate, higher-priced ticket is required for any vehicle carrying 8 or more passengers, such as large vans or buses.
- The Pomona Express Package: This premium package is designed for families and often includes the General Admission vehicle ticket plus a set number of tickets for the Pomona Express (a separate, small attraction on the campus). Tickets for the Pomona Express may also be available for cash-only purchase at the door.
How to Secure Your Timed-Entry Tickets
Due to the high demand for holiday light shows in the Rochester Metropolitan Area, it is highly recommended to book your tickets as early as possible, especially for prime weekend slots and the week leading up to Christmas Day.
- Go Online: Tickets are exclusively sold through the official event ticketing platform, linked from the West Wind Farm or Blue Barn's Campus websites.
- Select Your Date and Time: Choose a specific date and a 30-minute entry window (e.g., 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM). Your ticket is only valid for this specific time slot.
- Confirm Purchase: Once purchased, your ticket will be delivered digitally (usually via email) and scanned upon entry to the West Wind Farm drive-through trail.
- Check for Charity Nights: In the past, a portion of the ticket proceeds from the original ROC Lights went to local charities like C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer, so look for special event nights that support community causes.
The 2025 Holiday Spectacular Experience: More Than Just Lights
The move to West Wind Farm has allowed the light show to expand its offerings, creating a true Holiday Spectacular that extends beyond the car. The new venue provides a central hub for family fun, making it a perfect evening out for residents of Monroe County and beyond.
Santa's Workshop at Blue Barn Cidery
The Blue Barn Cidery building is transformed into an immersive Santa's Workshop environment. This is the hub for festive activities where families can park and enjoy the holiday atmosphere after or before their drive-through experience.
- Festive Food & Drinks: Enjoy seasonal hot beverages, treats, and food specials.
- Atmosphere: The cidery offers a cozy, warm space to escape the cold and soak up the holiday cheer.
The Pomona Express
The Pomona Express is another unique attraction available on the campus. This is a separate, smaller ride or experience that requires its own ticket, though it can often be bundled with your General Admission. It provides an additional layer of entertainment to complement the main drive-through show.
The West Wind Farm Holiday Light Show continues the tradition of the former ROC Lights at Victor Hills, promising millions of twinkling lights, animated displays, and festive scenes. By focusing on the new location and purchasing your timed-entry tickets online, you can ensure your family enjoys one of the brightest and most spectacular Christmas light displays in Upstate New York this season.
