Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Downtown lights turn on at sunset; the downtown tree's 15-minute music and light show plays every half hour from sunset until 10 p.m.

Tips & Advice

  • Open the Hometown Holiday Lights map before you leave home so you can plan a driving route between the participating homes and businesses.
  • Submitted homes and businesses are only on the map from November 8 to December 19, so fit your drive-around into that window.
  • If music is your thing, look for homes in the Jingle Bell Rock category, and head for the Griswold entries for over-the-top light displays.
  • From November 28, finish your drive downtown, where the lights come on at sunset and the tree's music and light show plays every half hour.
  • To share your own decorations, submit your outdoor display so neighbors can find its location on the public map.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Downtown Buckeye's lights switch on at sunset on November 28 and stay on through January 1, with a 15-minute music and light show at the downtown tree every half hour.
