while listening to All Christmas music on Spirit 92.9!
Here's some displays worth checking out this year in Central MN (and beyond!!)
Please note: We do our best to verify each display before adding it to the list, but we cannot guarantee that residential displays will be turned on or active at the time of your visit. Display availability may vary due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Want to submit a display?
To ensure a great experience for all, we feature displays that are especially memorable and worth the visit.
