2023 HoCo Holiday Lights Map Released For The Season

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The 2023 HoCo Holiday Lights map has been released just in time for residents to cruise around town and soak up the holiday spirit.

Since the map was created in 2021, nearly 150 residential and commercial holiday light displays from across the county have been registered on the map. Shortly after it was published Monday morning, nearly a dozen sites were already listed.

“Many of us have family holiday traditions of walking or driving around our neighborhoods to enjoy the festive holiday lights and experience the joy they bring,” Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said Monday morning. “With this tool, residents and visitors know exactly who is participating. You can plan a festive evening with a route around Howard County to tour the bright lights and support all the residents and businesses who dedicate so much time and effort to their displays. I hope residents will flaunt their holiday spirit by registering and that the rest of us enjoy making quality memories with our family during the holidays.”

The publicly driven website will expand throughout the holiday season as more residents and owners register their homes and businesses. The listing provides an address, photos, description of the display, display dates and hours, and any special instructions for that location. To map out a holiday lights drive through Howard County, residents and visitors can search for holiday displays by city, zip code or key word.
