Activity Description
"A Christmas Lights Tour of Brooklyn" invites New Yorkers and tourists alike to come visit the Italian-American section of Dyker Heights, made famous in 2001 PBS documentary "Dyker Lights" and most recently on TLC's "Crazy Christmas Lights."

Each year, the residents of Dyker Heights compete to have the biggest, best, and brightest Christmas decorations. In addition to over-the-top Christmas lights, there are large inflatable Christmas decorations, animatronic toys and motorized displays.
 
We'll visit Bay Ridge, which has also become known for their Christmas lights, and we'll stop by one of Brooklyn's best Italian pastry shops...Mona Lisa Pastry Shop & Cafe...for a cannoli and a cappuccino.

This 3 1/2 hour tour features:

  • An audio-visual presentation including Christmas specials from TV's Golden Age
  • Mechanical reindeer
  • Glowing nativity scenes
  • Dazzling lights
  • Old-fashioned holiday cheer
  • AND 30-foot toy soldiers!
If you want to see some of the most extravagant Christmas light displays you'll find anywhere in the country, you need to come to Brooklyn! Join the estimated 100,000 pilgrims that flock here each year to cruise the neighborhood and bask in the glow of the glorious excess.
