Even The Grinch Would Marvel At The Christmas Light Display At City Park In Louisiana

When this time of year rolls around, it's hard to not get excited about all the joy that Christmas brings. It’s the most magical time of the year when downtown streets and community parks become an enchanted winter wonderland. We may not get snow here, but you still don’t want this holiday season to pass you by without enjoying the best Christmas lights in Louisiana. One spot we're definitely adding to this year's bucket list is the City Park Christmas Lights 2023. With over a million lights, it's no wonder this dazzling display has been a Louisiana Christmas tradition for more than 30 years.

If you're looking for one of the most spectacular Christmas lights in Louisiana, visiting City Park in New Orleans is an absolute must. The park's Celebration In The Oaks is one of the best Christmas lights near me - it's truly amazing!

This is a Louisiana Christmas tradition for countless families celebrating the holidays in the Bayou State. Celebration in the Oaks offers both a drive-thru and a walk-thru experience.

No matter which experience you choose, you'll be met with with all your favorite holiday displays.

Thousands of lights decorate City Park’s famous live oak trees.

You'll be surrounded by several incredible displays and more than one million lights along the route.

From the whimsical...

...to the familiar...

Families with kids of all ages will positively love this sensational light show.

Celebration in the Oaks starts November 23 and runs through December 30, 2023.

Be sure to get your tickets ahead of time; this is one of the most popular holiday events in New Orleans, and it gets crowded, especially as Christmas Day draws closer. Do the walking tour one weekend and then go again and take the 2.25-mile drive-thru to get the full experience!
