Holiday Lights Tour
About the Essex Holiday Lights Tour
Every winter, the Town of Essex comes alive with festive cheer for the annual Holiday Lights Tour! This community celebration invites residents and businesses to light up the municipality and share the holiday spirit.
During the event, community members can engage in three festive ways:
-
Participate: Residents and local businesses register their addresses and upload photos to add their bright displays to the official interactive event map.
-
Tour: Families and friends can access the custom map online to plan a magical evening driving or walking tour of the town’s most brilliant light displays.
-
Vote: After viewing the displays, tour-goers vote online for their favorites.
This beloved annual tradition is proudly brought to you by the Arts, Culture and Tourism Committee and sponsored by the Essex Centre Business Improvement Area.
The Tour Will Return!
The Holiday Lights Tour will return in 2026. Watch for more details, registration info, and event updates to be posted here in November 2026.
