Christmas Lights 2023: Displays Around Fredericksburg

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — It's that time of year to head out with your family and drive by all of the dazzling holiday lights displays. Every year, we share a guide to holiday displays around the Fredericksburg area.

Below are the submissions we've received by from readers. These residents go all out with handmade displays, dazzling lights and sometimes synchronized shows.

We'll continue to add to this list through Christmas Eve, Dec. 24.

"Our lights are on from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. nightly through New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, rain is not our friend with such a large display so viewing is best on dry nights," Jackie Silvrants told Patch. "This year we have over 87 wood cutouts, 108 wire frame animals, 10 blow ups , music and 4,000+ lights. We have a Santa mailbox where children will receive a letter back from Santa if a return address is provided. We are collecting for Toys for Tots and the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue."
