The most recent update was December 22, 2022
and updates will be made several times a week. Changes are made as the
info becomes available.
Selection for this
page is subjective and I may have decided to leave off holiday displays
that someone else would have included. Or maybe I haven't see them yet.
Although I carefully researched where to find some of these, I stumbled
across a several of these holiday light displays on the way to photograph
others. Please email your suggestions
for the tour.

Lawrence Christmas Light Displays
Coneflower
Court Lights Map
A
The Coneflower Court
Lights are new to the Christmas Tour in 2021. It is anchored by two
displays across the court from each other at 2702 & 2705 Coneflower
Court. White lights link the yards on both sides and go part way down the
court. Near the end of those lights there is a yard with a small National
Lampoon Christmas Vacation display.
If you can tell us
more about this great Christmas display, please email.

Santa's
Lights Map F
The Fisher family has
had a Christmas light program on this tour most years since 2011. This
is the 3rd location for their show and 2022 is the third year Santa's
Lights have been on Bramble Bend Court. In 2022 it will run Thanksgiving
through New Year's Eve.
There are thousands
of LED lights synchronized to music on 96.7FM and the signature Santa projection
in a window.

Garcia
Family Christmas Display Map
B
Although this home on
Vantuyl Drive is the most impressive, there are several nice nearby displays.
Vincent Garcia's display includes recorded Christmas music playing through
a speaker and flashing lights. The holiday display is turned on until about
10:30 on week nights and 11:30 on the weekends. This display remained very
similar for several years, but has had more changes in recent years with
the addition of the large inflated snowman (missing in 2022) and a few
lights across the street.

Westridge
Court Holiday Lights Map

Westridge Court Holiday
Lights
is a half block long culdesac that has a half dozen nice Christmas light
displays. The home shown in the photograph above is at 3405, but there
are a couple of others that could have just as easily been selected to
represent this attractive collection. Thank you to Caleb Schletzbaum for
first pointing this display out. Since 2013, there are pairs of 3 foot
candy canes in front of each home on the culdesac

Wildwood
Dr & Woodridge Dr Map
C
This neighborhood display
gets larger every year. There are 40 homes
near
the intersection of Wildwood Drive and Woodridge Drive which have
combined to run white Christmas lights in geometric patterns running from
house to house and even over the street (3 times). As you drive or walk,
you are surrounded by the Christmas light display. The families of Chad
Dodd, Andy Frank and Michael Engel make the Holiday magic come to light.
All of the lights were lost in a fire in 2017, but they were replaced with
220 reels of 'soft white' LED lights. Still going up Thanksgiving week.

Parkside
Christmas Lights Map
H
Mary Ann and Gary Martin's
Parkside Christmas is the best known animated Christmas light display
in Lawrence and is one of the nicest we have seen anywhere. If you approach
from the north, there may be a long line of vehicles waiting for their
turn to watch the sound and light show. If you approach from the south,
there is usually no line. Tune your radio to 96.9FM to listen to the music
which is coordinated to the flashing lights. 2022 show runs Thanksgiving
through Epiphany (january 6, 2023)

Lawrence, Kansas 66049 |
Ranchero
Drive Christmas Display Map
D
I was blown away by this
display the first time I saw the Ranchero Drive Christmas Display
in 2008. The Pam and John Humphrey display is over 30 years old and changes
from year to year more than most although it hasn't been up every year
that we have checked. Many of the figures are handmade and they are changed
out with some new ones every year. There are more in storage than on display.
Just south of 13th Street and west of Monterey Way.

Lawrence, Kansas 66049 |
Westdale
Wonderland Map
I
This year the Shaughnessy
family calls this the Anonymous Household on Westdale Wonderland,
it used to be the House With Lights on a Corner, though the lights
actually run to nearby yards in the adjacent Westdale Place culdesac. The
lights are a little reminiscent of the Wildwood Drive and Woodridge Drive
display, but without the geometric feel and much smaller. The lights will
run December 1, 2021 and remain up until sometime in January.

Eldorado
Drive Avenue Of Trees Map
E
The Eldorado Avenue
Avenue Of Trees is new to the Christmas display tour in 2021. Many
of the trees on this two block semicircular street have there trunks wrapped
in Christmas lights like the tree in the photo above, particularly those
at the east end of the street. The photo shows a particularly attractive
light display on Laquinta Court, off of the drive.
Please email
if you can provide more details about this display.

Massachusetts
Holiday Trees Map
J
Every tree on Massachusetts Street (the main street in Lawrence) between
6th Street and 11th Street is covered with holiday lights. There are over
200 lighted trees in downtown Lawrence. Massachusetts is a nice
place to begin your Christmas light tour, perhaps starting with supper
at one of the many great locally owned restaurants. They will be lighted
starting November 25, 2022.

South
Park Christmas Trees Map
K
The South Park Christmas Tree is a huge tree that has been decorated
with blue lights on the branches, icicles, flashing stars and hanging strings
of lights which move with the wind. Get out of you ar and walk over to
the tree to see all that is going on. There are also penguins, a snowman
and an igloo made from lights near the base. South Park is just south of
the downtown Massachusetts Street Christmas Trees. Parking is available
on the north side of the park by the Court House. Lighted starting
the day after Thanksgiving.

2022 Lawrence
Kansas Christmas Display Tour
This route is about 13.8 miles and takes about 40 minutes to drive,
not including the time
spent enjoying the displays. To add the five homes in Eudora, take
23rd Street (K10) east
and exit right at the first Eudora exit.

Eudora Christmas Light Displays
Musick
Family Display Map A
The Musick Family Christmas
Display is just east of Church Street in Eudora. The adjacent Lindeen
and Musick families' homes have large Christmas displays including a small
sound and light program with the music being played through speakers. This
display fills the large front and back yard and would take many photos
to show. These displays are turned off fairly early in the evening. Some
nights, most of the lights are off at 9:30.
2215 North 1300 Road,
Eudora, Kansas 66025 |
McKenzie
Family Display Map D
The McKenzie Family
Christmas Display, across from Eudora High School had been mentioned
on this tour in passing as worth seeing on the way to the Lindeen &
Musick Family Displays for many years, but since 2016 the display has been
bigger and it has its own listing. It is a sprawling light display, much
like the other two, not quite as large, but still growing. In our experience,
it often is lighted later in the evening than the other two.
1274 County Road 1061,
Eudora, Kansas 66025 |
Lindeen
Family Display Map B
The Lindeen Family
Christmas Display is one of the largest we have seen. It and the adjacent
Musick displays cover several acres around the two houses. These two displays
and the McKenzie home are all related. They are actually 2 sisters and
a brother. Merritt Musick's family, Marilyn Lindeen's family and Janice
McKenzie's family. Amy of these displays would be worth going out of your
way to see on its own. Some nights most of the lights are off by 9:30.
2213 North 1300 Road,
Eudora, Kansas 66025 |
Grinch
Christmas Display Map E
The Johnson family started
their Grinch Christmas Display in 2013. It was the idea of Ryan
Johnson, who likes Christmas less than his wife, Kelly, does. The displays
is rearranged as new handmade wooden cutouts are added. 2022 is the sixth
year that this display is on the the Eudora Christmas Light Display Tour.
It will tentatively be up December 1 through New Years.

Eudora, Kansas 66025 |
Ditto
House Map C
In the spirit of the Ditto
House which was in Overland Park a few years ago, this home is between
the two previous displays and the one which follows and points at both
of them. This is the home of Eudora Fire Chief, Ken Keiter. This display
was added to the Eudora Christmas Display Tour in 2019.
