Bonac Lights, a holiday display whose proceeds support college scholarships for East Hampton High School students, will be set up in a new spot this year — Mulford Farm on James Lane.

The lights will be on every Friday and Saturday through Dec. 20 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. starting on Friday. The display is presented by the Star of the East Masonic Lodge. Each evening there will also be food, vendors, and music, and Santa will pay a visit on certain nights.

Admission is $12 for adults and $6 for children. Tickets can be bought at bonaclights.com.
