All-Out Holiday Lights Displays in Westchester

Westchester County’s holiday lights displays offer a mix of large-scale installations, immersive walk-throughs, and community traditions. This year’s events range from contemporary art-driven environments to classic park-based spectacles, giving residents multiple ways to experience the season’s glow.

At Harvest Moon, Lumina Light Show transforms the grounds into an immersive nighttime landscape of artist-designed light installations through December 30. Visitors move through illuminated sculptures, shifting projections, and ambient soundscapes, creating a contemporary interpretation of a winter light festival. Entrance times vary, and the experience emphasizes exploration and atmosphere.

For those looking for something with a more traditional holiday feel, Westchester’s Winter Wonderland continues its seasonal run at Kensico Dam Plaza through December 31. The event offers both drive-through and walk-through routes of synchronized lights and expansive displays, alongside entertainment and seasonal treats. Popular returning elements have made it a longstanding holiday tradition for many families.

A quieter option appears in Yonkers, where Untermyer Gardens’ Grand Holiday Illumination takes place December 6 through January 4. Approximately 150,000 lights outline the Walled Garden’s architectural features and formal plantings, with jewel-toned displays complemented by seasonal music from various traditions. The event remains free and open on winter evenings, including Christmas and New Year’s, without the need for reservations.

Together, these installations offer a varied set of experiences, from a cultural setting to environments that zero in on classic community traditions. Whether seeking a lively outing or a peaceful winter walk, Westchester residents have several options to enjoy the county’s seasonal light displays.
