These are private homes
Be a good guest
- These are people's homes. Drive slowly, keep to the street and never block a driveway.
- Turn your headlights to low beam, and keep the music in the car.
- If you get out to walk, stay on the sidewalk and keep voices down after 9 p.m.
- Where neighbors collect donations, a few dollars keeps the tradition going.
- Fridays and Saturdays back up. Sunday to Thursday is easier, especially in the week before Christmas.
These are private homes, so there are no official dates; most streets are lit through December. We link a recent local source for each street. Last checked October 20, 2026. Photos are from Barley Bus holiday tours.
