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 light displays lit up 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.
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!
