Each year I enjoy seeing the Carlsbad Holiday Light displays. There are plenty of them in our neighborhood, and around Carlsbad including the Village. See links at the bottom for displays around San Diego, and elsewhere in California.
In addition to what we see on buildings and the shopping center, it’s impressive to see certain private home displays.
TWIN INNS – I enjoy how the Twin Inns on Carlsbad Boulevard are lit up every year, especially the palm trees. I haven’t seen them at night yet in 2022 but no doubt they will impress again. This photo is from a prior year. The Twin Inns are located at the corner of Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive by the Carlsbad sign.
I always enjoy seeing the Holiday Tree at the Carlsbad Village Faire (300 Carlsbad Village Drive). It’s even more impressive when it’s all lit up. The 37th Annual Lighting was Sunday December 4th.
The white lights lining State Street in Carlsbad Village between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue are beautiful. And the holiday window displays around the Village are always fun to see.
Legoland Carlsbad offers abundant lights, with a 30-foot LEGO Christmas tree with LEGO ornaments at Fun Town. There’s also seasonal music, live entertainment, and much more. The festivities are through January 8, 2023 on selected dates. There are plenty of things to explore at this special place including Kid’s New Year’s Eve on the 31st. Check out their website for information on tickets, hotel stays and more. Advance reservations are required.
Plenty of homeowners decorate for the Christmas holiday. And Carlsbad has several homes that are over-the-top for all to enjoy. Here are some well-known displays around town:
