Posted on
On the hunt for some of Canberra’s best Christmas displays? We’re here to light up your life.
There’s no denying that hunting Christmas lights is a time-honoured December tradition everyone enjoys. But where can you go in Canberra to find some of the best displays? Luckily, the Christmas Light Search and Canberra FM’s Christmas Light Trail are back for another year to help you be merry and bright.
Updated daily, these guides cover everywhere from the inner north to Jerrabomberra and Queanbeyan, giving you plenty of options to explore (and a good excuse for a Christmas-themed road tip).
To make your life a bit easier, we’ve done some browsing to put together a quick guide to some of the displays that are worth seeing.
Make a list, check it twice, and keep an eye on the websites to see what else pops up!
