When to Visit
While traditionally most homes are decorated just after Thanksgiving, the first two weeks in December are the best times to see them all lite up with the least amount of crowds! As we get closer to Christmas the crowds will continue to grow. Try and weeknight visit versus the weekend, if possible.
As of December 2nd all homes are officially decorated and lit for the 2023 season! Most homes are lit up nightly around 5pm and stay on until around 10pm.
My current 2023 recommendation is to plan your visit during a week day, ideally within the first 2 weeks of December to beat most of the crowds.
Most homes will be decorated through to January 1st! All photos below are current with 2023 decorations!!
