Tips For Enjoying The Holiday Light Displays
While there are plenty of paid attractions you can visit with your family, if you are looking for some budget-friendly fun, admiring the work of homeowners, you have come to the right spot.
We have separated light displays in the Upstate into several easy-to-follow routes. Do them all in one night, or turn them into several nights of fun. Throw your fuzzy jammies on, grab the tumbler of hot cocoa, and hit the road.
We have gathered the best of the best in the Upstate to curate this fantastic list. Homes with light shows that include music (and sometimes even hot chocolate and Santa) are included and worth the drive. Here are a few tips to make the most of the routes provided:
- Expect to wait in traffic to see them. The more popular ones will most likely have traffic in front of them, especially on the weekends. Patience and grace are the spirit of the holidays.
- When visiting the walk through displays, park on the sides of the street, being sure to leave room for traffic and not block neighbors’ driveways.
- If available, we have included the social media pages for light displays. Check the Facebook page of the light display before heading out. Things like weather and lighting issues can determine if a display is lit or not, and we won’t be able to post updates on individual displays.
- Keep in mind that most synchronized sisplays WILL NOT RUN in wet conditions. This is due to electrical issues, and is to protect the large investment homeowners have put into these displays. If it has been raining during the day, or is raining after sundown – please take this into consideration before you drive a significant distance to view the lights, as they may be off.
