SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — Scranton’s Christmas Lights House, a tradition nearly four decades in the making, is back, bigger and better than ever.
Prospect Avenue in Scranton is aglow with holiday cheer, as this festive display welcomes visitors.
Lackawanna County is no stranger to holiday light shows, however this small corner in Scranton’s South Side is easily a favorite of many.
What began more than thirty-five years ago with a single home has grown into a beloved neighborhood tradition, inviting guests to drive slowly or stroll past a dazzling array of decorations and lights.
Each year, the Christmas Lights House draws hundreds of visitors eager to admire its festive display.
Among them this season were Clarks Summit resident Jake Fitzpatrick, his partner Emily Guziewicz, and their infant daughter, Ruby.
Fitzpatrick, who has returned year after year to admire the decorations since childhood, is excited to continue the tradition with his own children.
“It’s just an amazing sight to see us honor our old traditions and celebrate some of the new ones. It’s our daughter’s first Christmas, and I’m actually a South Side native, originally on South Irving. It’s just great to be out and see the community come together and celebrate some of these traditions,” said Fitzpatrick.
The display runs every evening through early January.
While the lights are free to enjoy, donations are welcome to help keep the tradition alive.
