The sights, sounds, beauty, and joy of the season abound in the incredible light displays that can be found throughout the Council Bluffs area! From beautifully decorated homes to amazing inflatables, decorations, and homes with thousands of lights impeccably choreographed to music. The holiday season in Council Bluffs does not disappoint. So, gather up your family and friends and take a drive to explore and enjoy these fantastic displays!
Always begin with the beautiful display at our very own Bayliss Park. Even if you missed Winterfest 2021, the park is still in all its glory and celebrating the beauty of the season. Then begin your drive to all these wonderful locations around Council Bluffs and the surrounding area. Please be mindful that these are private residences, so respect for the homes and homeowners is always a must. ENJOY!
