Bozeman Christmas Lights

Scroll to the bottom of the page for a map of all of these locations

1. 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. One not to miss! You'll probably end up staying at this one for a few songs.

2. 8670 Fowler Lane

This light display "drive-thru" has been around for so long, that it has become a tradition for many people. They seem to add more to this display each year, and the kind homeowners here even encourage you to park the car and walk up to their front window to explore their impressive Christmas city! While you are out here, continue North down Fowler for about half a mile and check out the Home 40 subdivision. There are some great light displays here as well!

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. 502 E Cottonwood

If you are heading East on Peach Street, you can't miss the giant Santa sitting on the rooftop deck of this home. Take a left on Church Street to get a closer look, and enjoy the rest of the house that is beautifully decorated with lights!

5. 871 Candlelight Drive

Shout-out to the homeowners at this house because they put serious effort into their Christmas decorations! There are several huge Christmas light "trees" in the front yard along with lights all along the fence and house, a Merry Christmas sign, and more. This one is worth the drive!

5. 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 fun neighborhood lights. But please drive carefully! There are no sidewalks on this street.

6. 1126 New Holland Drive

With blow-ups, lights, and everything in between, this is one spirited house! This is a great neighborhood to explore if you want to see some other great lights. 

7. 411 N Teton

From gnomes to soldiers, there are so many characters in front of this house! What's most impressive here is how high they got the lights in the tree!

8. 2480 Farrier

This is another house that has gone all out with the blow-up characters! Mickey and Minney make an appearance here along with a big ol' snowman and Santa!

9. 16 Cedar Wood Circle

This house is impressive, and worth the drive. The decorations and blow-up characters wrap around the whole front and side of the house - you can't miss it!

10. 3196 Hillcrest Drive

When we were out hunting for lights, we saw this one from blocks away! It's bright and colorful and everything you would want in a Christmas light display!

11. 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.

12. 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. 

13. Lewis and Clark Motel

This isn't a light display,  the Lewis and Clark Motel has more than 900 nutcrackers on display in their lobby each holiday season. They make it such a fun experience with homemade cookies, apple cider, a station for writing letters to Santa, and they even let you use one of the nutcrackers to crack nuts! They are open daily from Thanksgiving through January 10th with a short closing for the holiday December 22nd-27th. Shout out to the Lewis & Clark Motel for making this such a fun tradition for people of all ages.

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. 121 Keystone Drive

We've gotten word that this house has one of the best displays this year! 

3. 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!

4. 7340 Churchill Road

The yard of this home is filled with light up penguins, something you don't see every day!

5. 705 W Park

We love the lights on the roof of this home, they give the whole display a great pop!

6. 101 10th Street

Another great Belgrade light display, this home has some inflatables, a light-up reindeer, and lights everywhere!
