It's a family tradition for many homes to jump in the car, turn on the holiday music, and sip hot chocolate while driving around looking for light displays to awe over. It's a fun and free activity that can become cherished memories for years.

Tips For an optimal experience we have just a couple of tips to keep in mind when you're planning on driving around to see the lights:
- The best time to see holiday lights displays is between 6-9pm. Some homes may have their lights on a timer to shut off at a specific time, while others leave theirs on all night.
- Stick to a night that's dry! Many homeowners will not turn on their holiday light displays during heavy rain or if it's too wet so if it's a rainy evening you may want to hold off for a night with clearer weather.
- Please be courteous and respectful as you drive through residential neighborhoods by not littering, obey speed limits and keeping music at a reasonable noise level.
- Do not block road or driveways. If you wish to take photos/videos do so safely by pulling over or have someone else in the vehicle photograph. Do not text/drive.
We are frequently updating our map as we receive more homes to add so check back often and don't forget to sign up for our weekly newsletter!
