Where to See Christmas Lights in Elk Grove, CA

Elk Grove doesn't have one single famous street; it has dozens of newer subdivisions where neighbours decorate at the same time, which makes it one of the easiest places in the region to see a lot of lights without much driving. Laguna, Laguna West, Elk Grove Village and the streets around East Elk Grove are the reliable areas.

Christmas lights on a home in Elk Grove, California at night — One of our own installs in the Elk Grove area — not a photo of the display itself.

Displays are put on by private residents and volunteers, so streets, hours and start dates change from year to year. Most Sacramento-area neighbourhood displays switch on around the first week of December and run nightly through New Year's — check locally before you drive out.
