A favorite holiday tradition in our family is driving to see Christmas lights. If your holiday plans include looking at Christmas lights, enjoy this listing of various locations to see Christmas light displays this year. We're still verifying dates for some multi-day events and are continuously updating local neighborhood holiday light display information.
We also reach out to YOU: our subscribers, Facebook friends, and fans for information about lights in your neighborhoods. If you have or find an outstanding light display not in our list, reach out on the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid Facebook page or email us at sandyw@macaronikid.com and we'll be glad to add the display to our listing.
The photo shown is from a previous year on Churchill Drive in Lynchburg. We were so excited to learn that this excellent light show is up and running for 2018!
