The Best Holiday Lights In Woburn

WOBURN, MA -- Ask Patch readers for the best holiday light displays in town and you get a lot of responses. But a few addresses kept coming up in Burlington and Woburn, and on Sunday night we set out to see them for ourselves.

We know there are probably others that are just as elaborate and just as bright -- this is by no means meant to be a comprehensive look at local holiday light displays. And we'll spare you the "I wonder what their electric bill looks like" jokes and just let you look for yourself.

Finally, no photo is going to compare to seeing them in person. It took us about an hour to drive this entire route, and that included getting lost and stops at addresses that we didn't end up including photos from. We're not including exact house numbers but, trust us: drive down any of the streets listed at night and you'll have no trouble finding the house pictured. It will be the really bright one.

Crawford Road, Burlington

Elijah Street, Woburn

We're not sure if the two side-by-side houses are working together or trying to one-up each other for the brightest display we found in either town.

Shield Street, Woburn
