Local Central Oregon Christmas Lights

Central Oregon brightens up when the holidays roll around each year. A favorite holiday pastime is driving around to see Christmas lights. It's an affordable and easy way to absorb the magic of Christmas, ages 0+.

This pastime is about the smile that spreads across your face when you see the inflatable-enthusiasts house (there's always at least one.) Or the house with toe-tapping festive songs, synced with the lights.

It's also about spending quality time with your loved ones and recognizing the effort others put into sharing their holiday spirit.

This year has rapidly changed around us, but what might help slow things down are our traditions. In the name of Clark Griswold, we challenge you to get that sentimental feeling!

So heat up a cup of hot chocolate, pile in the car, and get festive with our interactive Central Oregon Christmas Light maps.

*Some of these light displays are based on previous years, but a majority of them are confirmed. Hopefully, all will be inspired to continue their glowing traditions this year.
