The Big List of FREE Christmas Lights in Jackson County Michigan
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Sledding. Trees. Hot cocoa. Countdowns. Stockings. And definitely, twinkling lights.
One of our favorite things to do is to get all the kids into their jammies, pop some popcorn, grab some hot cocoa in travel mugs, and head out to look at Christmas lights in Jackson and the surrounding area. We get to enjoy the evening as a family, oo-ing and ah-ing over the amazing light displays, choosing our favorites, and spending time together.
We all know there are hidden gems of streets, neighborhoods, or individual houses that go ALL OUT every single year to spread a little holiday cheer to those around them, so we’re putting together a list of the best places to see Christmas lights for FREE in Jackson County, Michigan.
This year could use as much cheer as possible, so we’ll keep adding to this list as we find out about more Christmas light displays that you can check. So hop in your car and go exploring! There is a map at the bottom of this post.
Please, share some of your favorites, too! If you want to nominate any other displays to the list, be sure to let us know here.

Concord
The Concord community came together this year – for the 3rd year in a row! – to spread cheer throughout the holidays with a Christmas lights display contest. At just $5 to enter and proceeds benefitting the local food bank, awards will also be given to the winners of the light display contest. A major thank you to the businesses who are helping to sponsor the prizes, because at the end of the day, the winner is the community of Concord – and anyone else who chooses to head out there and enjoy these amazing light displays.
