This East Arlington subdivision off Girvin Road has become famous for some of the best lights in Jacksonville, with coordinated displays throughout its streets. It has been voted among the city's best holiday light spots, and crowds slowly drive the loop with carols playing.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Jacksonville is around 5:28 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:54 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 48°F, so dress for standing around outside.
