The Best Christmas Light Show in America By State

Maine: Gardens Aglow

Gardens Aglow, held each year at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, is more than your typical Christmas display experience. It's a long stroll through a magical, glowing forest lit by 65 miles worth of string lights. The event runs from mid-November to December 31, giving visitors the chance to see nature illuminated throughout the 14 acres of gardens.

Maryland: Lights on the Bay

As Christmas descends on Annapolis, the SPCA of Anne Arundel County hosts Lights on the Bay each year at Sandy Point State Park. Pile the whole gang into the car and drive through the more than 70 stunning animated and stationary Christmas light displays set up along the road that follows the Chesapeake Bay.
