December’s chilly conditions are just around the bend and sunlight hours continue to fade into oblivion, but Buffalonians can at least look forward to one thing: holiday light displays.

Bask in the holiday spirit by catching tree lighting ceremonies and light shows in and around Buffalo. Below is a quick list of upcoming events guaranteed to glisten:

Fairgrounds Festival of Lights, ongoing throughout holidays
Drive through a nearly 2-mile stretch of twinkling light tunnels and animated illuminations at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg. For roughly $20 per car (there are presale discounts and additional charges for larger vehicles, so check the website for specific pricing), bring along the whole family for a dazzling lights display. After the drive, visit Santa, catch a magic show or enjoy some midway rides.
