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.

When: November 21, 2020-January 3, 2021
Where: 14905 Bresemann Blvd S, Spanaway, WA
Cost: $15-$20 per vehicle

Menashe Family

This home goes big every single year in honor of the holiday season. And if you live in West Seattle you can check out over 300,000 lights. So trust us when we say that you can’t miss this blinding display. After all, it’s not often you get to see such an extravagant light display on someone’s home.

When: Sunday after Thanksgiving through January 1
Where: 5600 Block Beach Drive SW
Cost: Free

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!

When: December 10-24
Where: Marysville, Washington
Cost: Free
