Christmas Lights In Arlington
Ready to get into the holiday spirit by loading up the car and driving through neighborhoods to see the Christmas lights. Good news, The Lights at Interlochen, one of Arlington’s longest running and most beloved holiday traditions, is back in 2020. There are over 200 homeowners that decorate their homes with lights and displays in this northwest Arlington neighborhood. And, did we mention, admission is free.
The public is invited to drive through the northwest Arlington neighborhood from 7:00pm – 11:00pm each night, Dec 11-12, and then again Dec 18-25. Lines may be long, the Arlington Police Department will set up traffic control posts in the area to help facilitate safe travel. ALL motorists must enter the Interlochen neighborhood from Randol Mill Road at Westwood Drive.
You’ll want to follow the signs throughout the neighborhood directing traffic along the trail. Neighbors ask that you keep your music in the car down, so you don’t disturb any residents that might be sleeping…or bingeing Netflix.
