Best Holiday Lights in the Bay Area (2025) + Interactive Map

The Bay Area really knows how to do holiday lights! There are so many neighborhoods that go all out with their decorations, so if you do nothing else for the holidays, please at least go check out some of these free and beautiful holiday displays.

I asked the Bay Area Kids GO community for their recommendations on the best places to see free holidays lights, and you all really came through! I compiled the information and created this map to make it convenient for you to find free holiday fun nearby.

Let me know if I missed a location that should be on here by sending me a DM here.
