Holiday Light Trail 2026

Rochester's best-dressed holiday homes, East Side and West Side. Most displays light up after Thanksgiving and run through New Year's.

Let the festivities commence!

What better way to lift your holiday spirits than taking a drive through some of Rochester’s most decorated neighborhoods? To help guide your way we have compiled a list of the “best dressed” holiday homes for the 2026 season.

Most displays light up the weekend after Thanksgiving and run through New Year’s, usually from about 5pm to 10pm. Many are synced to music on an FM station listed on the pin. Please drive slowly, stay on the road and be respectful of the neighbors.
