Holiday Laser Returns to Strasenburgh Planetarium — A Rochester Tradition Under the Stars

The Holiday Laser show is back at the Strasenburgh Planetarium — and this year the experience gets an upgrade. RMSC's new state-of-the-art laser and full-dome visualization system transforms the planetarium sky into a dancing light show set to your favorite holiday songs, from Mariah Carey to Mannheim Steamroller. It's a Rochester family tradition that runs all the way through January 3, 2027.

Online tickets are strongly encouraged (they cut off 5 minutes before showtime) and seating is first-come, first-served — arrive early. Tickets available at rmsc.org/events/holiday-laser/ or at the Planetarium box office.
