Holiday Light Trail

The Downtown Development Authority has lit up the holidays in Downtown Delray Beach for over 50 years! In 2021, MSN named Delray Beach in “50 Best Christmas Towns to visit for the Holidays”. The Holiday Light Trail is new for 2022 in our Village by the Sea beginning at the I-95 eastbound exit of West Atlantic Avenue, winding its way throughout the downtown with thousands of lights, lighted wreaths and holiday decorations.

Take a drive or walk the sidewalk trail for a warm holiday glow ~ be sure to stop along the way to visit merchants, restaurants, take photos and tag us (#LOVEDELRAY) to share your experience!
