Our Favorite Christmas Light Displays
2024 Edition: Because December is the darkest month, we welcome grand displays of holiday and Christmas lights to brighten the night.
These homeowners and neighborhoods go all out to celebrate the season, so let’s join them.
Following our list of favorites, find more festively decorated homes and homes synced to music, drive-through Christmas light shows, and more holiday activities that bring us comfort and joy. May your nights be merry and bright!
1. Rahway Neighborhood
Gates
Many of the homes in the Rahway community (Rahway, Dawson, Winter Hazel, Charter) participate in the annual Christmas lights extravaganza. Some homes are lit to festive extremes, while others are elegant, monotone, or traditional. Winter Hazel is a cul-de-sac, so you can see all the homes again as you drive back toward Lyell Road.
Bring cash for the hot cocoa and popcorn stand on Winter Hazel Court. If it isn’t already, stopping here can easily become a memorable part of your Christmas lights tradition!
2. Endicar Neighborhood
Irondequoit
This cul-de-sac neighborhood is lit! Multiple homes on Endicar Drive, off Titus Avenue near Kings Highway, participate to bring the holiday cheer.
It is with sorrow that I share that one of the homeowners passed away in August 2024. We will always be grateful for the joy he created for the entire Rochester community.
3. Buckskin Neighborhood
Farmington
There are 20+ houses on Buckskin Drive and Hunters Drive synced to the same radio station, with additional homes festively decorated. Once you pull into the neighborhood, turn off your headlights and proceed slowly to enjoy this enjoyable and colorful drive. Follow Raggi Christmas Light Show on their Facebook page. The show begins each year on Thanksgiving evening at 6:30 p.m. Regular hours are Sunday through Thursday, 4:30–10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 4:30–11 p.m. Tune your radio to 91.1 FM.
