There’s nothing quite like a good light display to get you in the holiday spirit. And considering that a lot of our mainstay holiday events have been canceled this year, we’re looking forward to the festive light displays all over town. So here are all the light displays to check out in & around Seattle this holiday season!
Candy Cane Lane
If you’ve lived in Seattle a while then you’re probably familiar with this street. After all, the homes on NE Park Rd (Candy Cane Lane) have been setting up lights since the 1940s. So this might just be one of Seattle’s oldest and most beloved light displays.
When: First Saturday in December through January 1
Where: NE Park Rd, off Ravenna Blvd at the cross street of 21st Ave NE
Cost: Free
Evergreen Christmas Lights
This massive light show in Bothell is taking things virtual this year. Which is great for Seattleites because Bothell is definitely a bit of a drive. And you’ll be able to see some other fun holiday things like baking, crafting, music and more.
When: December 1-24
Where: Online
Cost: Free
Fantasy Lights
This event at Spanaway park is the largest holiday drive-through display in the Northwest. And that means you get to see over 300 different light displays, which sounds pretty dang cool if you ask us. And it’s a great holiday tradition for people of all ages.

Merrysville Home for the Holidays
This new event is a map of homes that are planning on lighting up for the holiday season. And what’s even better is that homeowners can win prizes for the best light display. So while we know Seattlieites probably won’t be driving out to see this, if you live in the area it’s definitely worth checking out or adding your home!
