Where to See Holiday Lights in Fairfield County

0

A house decorated in holiday lights. Driving around to see holiday lights after dark is a fun memory from my childhood that I recreate with my family each year. It really gets everyone in the holiday spirit, and bonus points that your kids are strapped into car seats or seat belts (no wrangling!), and you can enjoy a coffee or hot cocoa while you’re at it.

We know you are already working hard to make this season magical for your family, so we did the work for you. We’ve scoured the internet, polled the social media masses, and put together a guide just for you. So dress everyone in cozy holiday jammies, pile into your mom-mobile, crank up the holiday tunes, and see all the best holiday lights in Fairfield County. 

We will update the list throughout the holiday season as we get more information, so check back to see if we have added more locations! Many of the addresses listed below are private homes or neighborhoods, so please respect these homeowners. If you know of a great light display that isn’t listed below, please comment below or message us on social media so we can add it to the list!
