For the last few years, at some point during the holiday season we grab the kids after dinner, get them into jammies and hop in the car to venture out and find some amazing holiday light displays. Is this a tradition for your family, too? Here's a helpful guide to several displays in our area and a bit beyond for those of you willing to take a bit of a further drive. Many take donations for charity (monetary or canned food) so plan ahead.
NOTE: Some of these were submitted by readers and fans and we haven't yet had the opportunity to drive to all of them to confirm if they are happening again this year. Please leave a comment if you either learn that a display is no longer there or if you find a new one to add to our list!!

Head down Main St. Danbury - more lights this year then ever before. Worth the drive through on your way to the mall or on your way to some other holiday light displays!

Spectacular this year! Just drive down and take it all in. And if the weather is nice (and it has been!), park and stroll along to enjoy it longer.
