Here are the best holiday lights displays to visit in Hawaii to celebrate the season.
Show Aloha Land
Keep the holiday spirit alive this year without stepping outside of your car. This year’s A Winter Wonderland at Aloha Land will feature a jaw-dropping drive-through experience complete with holiday music, views of Santa’s workshop and 2.5 million LED lights. Aloha Stadium, 99-500 Salt Lake Blvd., Honolulu, showalohaland.com
Friends of Honolulu City Lights
The beloved holiday lights display is back this year, gracing Oahu residents with joy and spirit. Featuring beautiful lights, a parade and a tree lighting ceremony, this celebration is not one to miss. Honolulu Hale, 530 S. King St., Honolulu, honolulucitylights.org
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Take a drive to the volcano and enjoy two light shows along the way. Stop first at Kilauea Military Camp to admire the 50 acres of cabins decked out in lights and holiday spirit. Then, experience the warm glowing light of the volcano itself to top off a magical night. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii Island
Kaneohe Christmas Lane
Take a trip down Christmas Lane this holiday season at Namoku Street, where every home is decked with lights and displays. Keep an eye out for Santa on the rooftops, a 9-foot bear riding a train and the rumored Where’s Waldo themed house. Namoku St., Kaneohe
Kauai’s Festival of Lights
One of Kauai’s most beloved traditions, this light show is a holiday staple. From visits with Mr. and Mrs. Clause, stunning light displays and the highly discussed “trash into treasure” art pieces, this experience offers something for all ages to enjoy. Lihue County Park, 4396 Rice St., Lihue, kauaifestivaloflights.com
The Banyan Tree
The oldest Banyan tree in the state, this 148-year-old Maui landmark will be covered top to bottom in holiday lights throughout December. Beyond the beauty of the tree, visitors can also enjoy cookie decorating, visits with Santa at the North Pole and photo opportunities with a 6-foot snowman.
