Are There Drive-By Halloween Light Shows in the Twin Cities?
Yes. Many Halloween displays throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs can be enjoyed from your vehicle.
Some feature synchronized light shows with soundtracks broadcast over FM radio. These are especially convenient for families with younger children or anyone who prefers to experience Halloween decorations without walking through a haunted attraction.
Check each listing for viewing instructions, and avoid blocking driveways or neighboring properties.
When Do Halloween Light Displays Start in Minnesota?
Many residential Halloween displays begin operating in late September or early October. Most continue through Halloween on Oct. 31, although some remain illuminated into November.
