Veteran kicks off Coney Island’s ‘Nights of Lights’
CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A local veteran got the honor of turning on a popular attraction’s holiday light display for this season’s opening ceremony.

If you’ve never been, Nights of Lights illuminates part of Coney Island with tunnels that have over two million lights that “dance” to music. Best of all, you can keep warm inside your car while you enjoy the festive scenery.
