The Gatlinburg SkyBridge, which is the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, is lighting up for the holidays.

Fox 17 in Nashville reported that, according to the owners of Gatlinburg SkyLift Park, there will be double the amount of lights during this year’s Lights Over Gatlinburg event.

There will be a 300-foot tunnel, more than 40,000 synchronized lights and dancing trees across the park.

“Gatlinburg is an unforgettable experience during the holidays,” general manager Randy Watson told WBIR in Knoxville, Tennessee. “With beautiful trees and bright lights on every corner during the season, we’re proud to have had our inaugural Lights Over Gatlinburg display recognized with a national award and to have seen it be the most popular event in the history of the SkyLift Park. And we’re certain this year will be even better and brighter."

The event runs from Nov. 13 to Jan. 31.
