Bozeman Christmas Lights
1. 15 S Western Ave
Western Avenue is always a spirited street, and Christmas is no exception! This home has gone all out. When you visit, keep driving north to enjoy some of the other awesome neighborhood lights. But please drive carefully! There are no sidewalks on this street.
2. 313 Powder River Ave
For the past several years, this has been a go-to stop for Christmas lights! You can see the flashing lights as you turn onto the street. Once you have a good spot, tune into the radio station they show you in the yard and watch the lights dance to the holiday music. Definitely, one not to miss! In fact, you'll probably end up staying at this one for a few songs.
3. 904 W Babcock Street
The Bah Humbug house is our personal favorite! There are no blowup Santas, light shows or illuminated stars here. Just a house completely covered in Christmas lights and a ginormous Rudolph. It's seriously awesome.
4. 8670 Fowler Lane
This one basically feels like Santa's workshop. There are so many lights and inflatables as you drive through. Keep an eye out for the Grinch!
5. Downtown Bozeman
For the classic Christmas display experience, a drive down Main Street is a must. The stores are decorated, the lampposts are wrapped with garland and lights, and of course, there are the classic spider lights at each intersection. Make sure to go to the corner of Main and Rouse to see the big pines lit up in the Soroptomist Park. Stay in the downtown vicinity and drive through the historic neighborhoods (especially Willson Avenue!) to see the beautiful homes and light displays.
6. Southside Luminaries
This neighborhood has a very special tradition on Christmas Eve, the largest luminaria display in town! In the neighborhoods just southeast of Kagy and S. 3rd you will find street after street lined with glowing votive candles inside paper sacks. The tradition in Bozeman began in 1967 when a couple lined their sidewalk and driveway on Highland Court in remembrance of a young Billings boy they knew. It has grown over the decades and now almost every home lines its sidewalk with luminaries and even the surrounding neighborhoods participate! If you can't make it on Christmas Eve, some are lit in the days leading up and it's still a great area for holiday light displays.
7. Montana Hall
The center of campus glows with the lights on Montana Hall. You can drive by and get fairly close to see the lights, but this is also a good spot to stretch your legs and walk up to see it closer.
8. Emerson Cultural Center
Okay, this one isn't a huge Christmas display but there's something about the big pine tree in front of this historic building all lit up that feels so festive!
Belgrade Christmas Lights
1. Belgrade Senior Center - 92 E Cameron Ave
The Belgrade Senior Center is hosting a walk-through light display, which is a great way to get out and enjoy some fresh air while getting in the Christmas spirit!
2. 527 Red Barn Drive
We love a good light show, and this home does not disappoint! Park your car out front and enjoy the seriously festive 15-minute light show!
3. 185 Cameron Bridge Road
Another great light show at this Belgrade home.
4. 51 Cameron Bridge Road
While you're on Cameron Bridge Road go check out the moving light display at this home.
5. 402 Southwood Drive
This home is beautifully decorated with plenty of lights!
