The Boise Christmas Lights Project is an independent project that features and maps out the best and brightest holiday light displays in the Boise/Treasure Valley area. We feature both Christmas and Halloween displays throughout the year. We also maintain a Boise Christmas Events Calendar for visitors who want to find holiday-themed events near them.

What We Do

We publish and maintain a map of the best Christmas (and Halloween) lights you can find in the Treasure Valley. Most of these lights are on people’s homes that they submit to us, but we also feature other major displays put on by companies, local farms, and much more.

The listings are also maintained on our website, and we started an iOS mobile app in 2023. Our map and website have been featured numerous times in the local press.

This project was created in 2015 by William Higginson, a self-proclaimed Christmas light junkie from Eagle. In 2020, the project changed hands to Luthy Shannon, famous for her family's light show in Meridian. In 2022, William moved back to Idaho and has taken the project back over fully.
