About this guide

Holiday Lights Guide helps you find Christmas light displays near you — free neighborhood displays, synchronized houses, drive-thru trails, and ticketed attractions. Right now the guide covers 1334 displays across25 states, and it grows every season.

Where the listings come from

Listings are gathered from published local coverage — newspapers, city guides, and family blogs — and from readers whosubmit displays in their own neighborhoods. We review every submission before it goes live.

How verification works

Every listing shows when it was last confirmed. Displays change from year to year — houses go dark, attractions move — so before each season we re-check listings and update their verification stamps. If a listing looks out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.

A note on residential displays

Many of the best displays are private homes whose owners share them with the public. Please be a good guest: view from the street or sidewalk, don't block driveways, keep music down late in the evening, and follow any posted instructions. If you're a homeowner and want your display removed from the guide, contact us and we'll take it down promptly.
