Where can I see Pittsburgh Christmas lights?

The Baker Family displays some of the best Christmas lights in Pittsburgh, but that’s just the start of the magic that awaits during the holiday season. Another of the most popular Christmas light displays in Pittsburgh is, hands down, Holiday Lights at Kennywood. The popular amusement park transforms into a magical winter wonderland during the holiday season, with more than two million shimmering lights. Snap photos of and in front of the massive 100-foot Christmas tree aglow in twinkling lights. (You’ll find it lit up near Kiddieland.) Plan to spend an entire evening because there’s so much to do – climb aboard your favorite open rides; meet with favorite seasonal characters and Kenny the Kangaroo, and indulge in delicious treats. Santa’s also on hand to take photos. It’s one of the best places to celebrate Christmas in Pittsburgh.

What are some of the best ways to celebrate Christmas in Pittsburgh?

Kick off the holiday season with thousands of other Pittsburghers at Light-Up Night, the official start of Christmastime in Pittsburgh. Even if you can’t make it to the city on that magical evening, plan a visit to PPG Place to go ice skating around the glittering Christmas tree and to do a little Christmas shopping downtown. Plan time for a tour of the Nationality Rooms, all decked out for the holidays, at the Cathedral of Learning. A visit to the Nationality Rooms is just one popular tradition during Christmas in Pittsburgh. Stroll through Phipps Conservatory during its annual Winter Flower Show and Light Garden; bundle up, too, because the outdoor lights display is absolutely magical.

For one of the best Christmas light displays near Pittsburgh, make your way to Overly’s Country Christmas in Greensburg. (Make sure you take cash!) Drive through a breathtaking light display before heading into the Westmoreland Fairgrounds for a Christmas adventure. Climb aboard a horse-drawn carriage ride; roast marshmallows over a roaring fire; and indulge in a delicious seasonal treat.
