Do you go all out for the holiday season? Here’s an easy way to make sure all of Southwest Florida knows about it.
Our annual holiday-lights map helps people find joyous, awe-inspiring light displays in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs and the rest of Southwest Florida. And it’s easy to add your own home or business: Just go online and fill out a short form that includes your address, the number of lights in your display and a short description.
Even better: It’s absolutely free.

Visitors attend the Children’s Christmas Tree Trail event at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates on Monday, Nov. 25, 2024. Holiday Nights at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates started Friday, Nov. 29, 2024. This event highlighted Christmas trees decorated by area students.
The interactive map will go online in late November. We’ll update it throughout the holiday season so people can use it for a self-guided tour of the region’s best and brightest displays.
To add your holiday light display, go to news-press.com/holidaylights. The displays can be for businesses, homes or venues.
