Dyker Heights Christmas Lights

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights is a guided look at Brooklyn’s extravagant residential holiday tradition, where houses become glowing displays of toy soldiers, reindeer, Santas and elaborate festive scenes.

Expect time on neighborhood streets with a guide who explains how the displays grew into a local ritual. The contrast between an ordinary residential block and the scale of the decorations is the attraction, with each household creating its own version of the season.

Some outings include transport from Manhattan and additional skyline or holiday stops, while others emphasize the time among the houses. Displays and routes vary, so choose the balance of neighborhood walking and travel time that suits your evening rather than expecting a fixed list of decorated homes.
