THE LANDERS FAMILY’S GUIDE

Plan your visit

A little planning makes an evening of Christmas lights more enjoyable for everyone. Read each listing’s season status and visiting notes before you set out.

Which season does this guide cover?

The archive starts with the family’s 2025 guide. Those descriptions record what was seen then; they are not confirmation that a display is running in 2026. Look for the season status on each display page.

When are the lights on?

Some listings include hours from the source guide, while others do not. Historical hours may change. Wait for current-season confirmation before making a special trip. Weather can also change an evening’s plans, and displays may be switched off during severe weather.

How do we hear the music?

Some displays use an FM radio frequency; others play music you can hear from outside. Read the listing’s music notes. Frequencies and show details from a previous season may change.

Can we walk through a display?

Many entries are private homes or residential neighborhoods. Enjoy them from public streets unless a current invitation specifically welcomes visitors onto the property. A walk-through or other invitation in a 2025 description may no longer apply.

What should we know about driving and turning around?

Keep driveways clear, drive carefully, and give neighbors and other visitors room. Read the location notes before turning down a street: some stops are on dead ends, at intersections, or in areas where turning around is difficult. Follow any specific driveway or parking instructions on the listing.

Is it free?

The guide is free to browse. A venue or special event may have its own admission charge. Check the listing and the venue’s current information before visiting; an unknown admission cost should not be read as free entry.
