Attention holiday lights junkies!
For years now, the Roanoke Times has told you where to find the most audacious holiday lighting displays in the area. It used to be in print, and last year we added an interactive map online. This year, we're going one better: a searchable database of displays with mapped results so you know right where to go.
Search by locality or even zip code.
Come back and search often, because that database will continue to grow as our local display artists submit their information.
And if you're one of those types who starts untangling and tacking up lights in September because it takes that long to put up 65,000 twinklers and 27 Santas, we're your place to tell people where to find your display. Just use our simple online form. Once you hit submit, it may take up to a day for your submission to be approved and added to the database, but I'll work as fast as I can.
So take a break from seaching for that aggravating bad bulb and tell us about your display.
Let's see some submissions from Franklin County folks!
I doubt we would qualify with our one single strand of multicolored (the big bulbs!) lights across one roof line, but i know there are other more creative Franklin Countians out there...

Can you add the town of Narrows, they put up lights all over town, at the area duck pond "with santa fishing" and town park. They also light up the bridge coming into downtown. You have a great site. I am planning a trip to Roanoke so now I will not have to drive around blind looking for Christmas lights!
Thanks, Jan
