2021 Holiday Lights Around NW Metro Atlanta
Please note that we have made every effort to confirm the information below. It is very early in the season and not all homes have been lit yet. We will update our website list in early December! Leave info or read the comments on the website or our Facebook page as many neighbors are adding their favorites and homeowners that have decorated are giving us their schedules. Don’t forget to comment on our Facebook page to let us know how much you liked the lights, or if we missed any displays you think should be included.
While it’s great to visit the light displays throughout the holiday season, one neighborhood in Forsyth County offers a “Night of Lights” for one night during the holiday season where the neighborhood lights up the houses and luminaries throughout the subdivision in support of a good cause. The 2021 Night of Lights will be on December 19th at 6pm, so make sure you make plans to visit the Ashbrooke Subdivision, 5020 Luke Drive in Cumming, GA.
