Christmas Lights

E.L.F., a new drive-thru Christmas light show, is coming to Chester Woods Park in SE Minnesota. See magical displays during select weekends in December 2025.

Volunteers worked hard to hang millions of lights for this annual event which is the longest drive-thru Christmas light show in Minnesota.

Tonight would be the perfect night to go—the weather is going to be great!

This impressive display features millions of bright holiday lights and is open until the end of the year.

You might have heard about a new ban on incandescent light bulbs that went into effect earlier this year. But there's good news for holiday light lovers here in Minnesota!

CORRECTION: As it turns out, the ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs does NOT apply to holiday lights

Few things are more frustrating this time of year in Minnesota than when your Christmas lights suddenly stop working, right?

What neighborhood usually has the best Christmas lights in Rochester?

You'll enjoy about 3 MILLION lights as you stroll through the park in your car, on foot, or in a carriage ride! #TrulyMagical

The lights will stay on through New Year's day.

Your kids are going to think this is the best thing ever!

More than 200,000 people attended last year.

It might be a little early, but did you know only one Christmas display in Minnesota was ranked one of the best in the country? (And it's only a little over three hours from Rochester...)

They're a big part of just about everyone's holiday displays, but do you know how much it costs to run your Christmas lights here in Minnesota?
