Annual laser show, night market returning to Sunrise Mall

By Sara Beth Williams–
The annual Laser Light Show and Night Market plans to return to the Sunrise Mall parking lot on Friday, Dec. 6.

The inaugural Laser Light Show launched in 2017 and was initially conceived as an event that would create “Instagramable experiences,” according to Sunrise MarketPlace Marketing and Special Projects Manager Lisa Cordell. The laser light show had to be postponed throughout the pandemic and then returned again in 2022 she said.

Over time, the event evolved to include a “night market” along with the original laser show, in collaboration with Kauai’s Night Market, which introduced “specialty vendors” offering crafts, toys, and various products, Cordell said.

This year’s event will feature multiple vendors in its night market, which will last 4-8 p.m. on Friday, in the parking lot of Macy’s Men’s at the Sunrise Mall.

The event will include two 45-minute laser light shows, one at 6 p.m. and one at 7 p.m., and will also include a holiday magic show, carnival games, face painting, a human snow globe, a car show, a mini golf course for kids, and several additional attractions still to be announced, Cordell said Tuesday.

At least six food trucks are scheduled to be on site during the event, along with multiple arts and crafts vendors, including a photo booth. The event is free to attend.

Several other events are taking place at or near the Sunrise Mall this holiday season, including Friday Night Shine, a community talent show hosted by Royal Stage Theater, a family-friendly holiday party that will take place in the Citrus Town Center across the street from the mall, and a Whoville-themed skate party at Sunrise Rollerland. Photos with Santa are also ongoing inside the Sunrise Mall and will continue through Christmas Eve.
