Only 1 Hour from Chicago—The Largest Free Outdoor Holiday Light Festival Draws Over 50,000 Visitors Every Year, And It Returns This Month

One of the best parts of the holiday season is that we get to be immersed in sparkling, twinkling lights wherever we go —whether that is by walking or driving. Luckily for us, the largest free outdoor drive-through holiday light display in the region is The Aurora Festival of Lights , and it’s only an hour drive from Chicago. Returning for its 19th year, visitors can enjoy a mile of bedazzling lighted displays from the comfort of the car while turning on the stereo to beloved holiday-themed jingles . Displays include jumping reindeer, ice skating bears, old man winter, howling wolves, the holiday golfer, Santa’s toy factory, and fields of gigantic snowflakes, along with new displays.
