Where to See Holiday Decorations in Greater Boston

One of the best ways to get to know a new neighborhood like Brookline or Newton is to take a late-evening drive to see the holiday displays.

Must-Visit Neighborhoods

• Beacon Hill: The cobblestone streets and gas lamps are adorned with traditional wreaths and velvet bows. It is arguably the most 'Instagrammable' spot in the city.
• Newton: Keep an eye out for the elaborate displays in Newton Centre.
• Wellesley: The town center lighting is a classic New England tradition that makes the cold nights feel warm.

Holiday Safety Tip

If you are decorating your own new home, ensure your outdoor lights are 'LED' to save on energy and prevent over-taxing older electrical systems often found in historic Somerville homes.
