With the holiday season in full swing, this is an ideal moment to enjoy some of the region’s best holiday light shows, several of which are in Chester County, write Jason Nark and Henry Savage for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The West Chester Griswolds are known for covering their home and property in thousands of LED lights, illuminated figurines, and nativity scenes, with Santa sometimes appearing through a window. The family puts the vibrant display to good use by raising money for various charities, and this year’s contributions will support LaMancha Animal Rescue in Coatesville.
Herr’s, the nationwide snack brand located in Nottingham, sets up an impressive free display featuring over 600,000 lights across its corporate campus for visitors to experience on a drive-through route.
Lights Up Holiday Weekends in West Chester will bring live music, festive markets, Santa Claus, and a professional gingerbread competition to the town each weekend as its streets and businesses shine with holiday lights.
Finally, A Longwood Christmas in Kennett Square once again delivers a captivating seasonal atmosphere. Intricate botanical light displays blend with richly decorated trees and lush floral arrangements, creating a magical holiday environment.
