To view the 2023 Minnesota Holiday Lights Display Guide, click here
Since 2017, I have published a guide of where you can view millions of holiday lights around Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The Minnesota Holiday Lights Display Guide is back for its 6th year!
I remember going to see lights as a kid. We would drive to Phalen Park in Saint Paul for a drive-thru display that no longer operates. It was fun to pile up in the car and have a simple tradition my family would do every year.
And that’s why this Guide exists. I want to make your holiday season more festive by planning a night out discovering lights. Homeowners, churches, and businesses all around Minnesota and western Wisconsin put a lot of time and effort into their displays. Go out and enjoy them! Keep scrolling for an interactive map, powered by Miracle at Big Rock, to help plan your route.
Many thanks to Sam’s Christmas Village and Light Tour in Somerset, Wisconsin for returning to present this year’s Guide. If you want to see a lot of lights, Sam’s is the place to go! They boast more than 10 MILLION. Plus, depending on the night you attend, you can either walk-thru or drive-thru their display.
Come back often as this Guide gets updated! Expect to see 150-200 displays listed before the end of the year. Click here to list your display for free.
Plus, there’s more! Thanks to Sever’s Holiday Lights, Check out this comparison of the 9 biggest light shows, each featuring 1 million plus lights.
Happy holidays!
