Check them out below!

Waverly Light Display

November 26 – December 25

The Waverly Light Display started 25 years ago as a humble yard display of string lights and cut-outs, but now it’s a Christmas spectacular with choreographed music. So, the light displays literally dance. People from all over the Midwest come to view the light show. The owners donate all proceeds to St. Jude’s Research Hospital. The show starts on Thanksgiving and continues through Christmas.

Lights in the Park, Sumner

Enjoy one of Northeast Iowa’s newest light displays, held in the Sumner City Park daily from 5 to 9 p.m.

Hickory Hills Holiday Light Show, La Porte City

November 28 – December 24

Blackhawk County Presents its brand-new Holiday Light Show. Featuring thousands of lights, whimsical displays, and familiar holiday characters, this celebration illuminates the campground with displays designed by many local businesses and organizations. Drive through in the comfort of your own vehicle between 5 and 9 p.m. Admission is $10 per vehicle.

Little Light of Mine, New Hampton

November 27 – January 1

See New Hampton shine in Mikkelson Park, where a drive-through holiday light display thrills visitors every year. If you want to take a break from the car, visitors can also visit Santa, see the live reindeer or take a horse-drawn wagon ride under the lights. The lights are lit every night from 5 to 10 p.m.
