There’s nothing quite like piling into the car, turning up the holiday music, and exploring the twinkling Christmas lights around Brentwood and East County. Whether you’re looking for a quick drive-through adventure or a whole evening of festive fun, we’ve rounded up the must-see displays that will bring all the magic (and all the “wow, look at THAT!” moments) to your holiday season.
And for more Holiday Family Fun be sure to check out the Macaroni KID Brentwood events calendar HERE so you can spend more time together this Holiday season.
*Please note: This is a working list. Not all displays have been verified as it's impossible for me to drive to each of these houses to check. If one of these is your houses, please email us to verify your decorations are still up. If something is wrong, please email us at KristaN@macaronikid.com so we can edit or remove it.
Brentwood
- Tunnels of Joy- La Costa Dr.
This is one of the most well known Lights displays in the area. Plan to park somewhere in the neighborhood and walk through. The sidewalks are lined with light arches for you to walk under as you stroll around looking at all the pretty lights. You can also find food trucks and local entertainment there on the weekends as well. This is free however every year they choose a pediatric cancer patient to raise funds for. Learn more by visiting their facebook page.
- Deck the Park- Brentwood City Park
We're still waiting for more details on this year's Deck the Park so check back soon for this year's dates. Each year, local businesses, organizations and individuals can decorate a tree at city park and then people can enjoy walking around looking at all the trees and vote for their favorites. Trees are typically available to view for a few weeks from mid December to early January
