We just spent the evening driving around Walnut Creek and Concord to validate the addresses of this Christmas Lights map, and we saw some really great displays.
To make it worth the drive, here is a tour of seven amazing Christmas displays in the Walnut Creek area to check out, and you can open the map right on your phone to navigate.
You will see other great lights along the way, but the ones we’ve added to the map are what make it worth the drive.
Weekday traffic from Oakland to Walnut Creek is no joke, so plan accordingly!
Addresses for Best Christmas Lights in Walnut Creek and Concord
Definitely read the signs at each house. Several of them are broadcasting music on a specific radio station and the lights are synchronized. This really makes them magical. My dad loved the animated singing lights.
Most original: The house at 876 St John Circle is unique in its dark Nightmare Before Christmas theme. However, once you tune the radio to the fun soundtrack, the characters really come to life and seem friendly. It’s quite an illusion!

Only time for one?
Our two favorites were 5390 Aspenwood Court in Concord and 2738 Tumwater Drive in Walnut Creek. Don’t miss out on tuning your car radio to the right place for the animated light and music show. Bonus points that the songs weren’t just Christmas songs and the lights created images and not just patterns. A steady stream of cars coming by brought people who parked to get out and see the inflatables and other figures close up, almost like a mini holiday stroll.
More time?
A bit further from the {510}, the biggest light display on a home in the East Bay is in Livermore.

Future landfill.
For those wondering we just did the driving tour Dec 17, 2024, and it seems like all of the houses on the list are still participating with their impressive light displays. Plus some others along the route are contenders to be added to the list. Well worth it!
Thanks Julian! We test drove the route early December and noticed many additional delights nearby.
Any holiday light tour info for Walnut Creek /Concord for 2025?
Robert, We have to wait and see if our favorites light up again. We’ll let you know!
We drove the 2024 list and all the houses are lit up except 1094 Discovery Way. We are still waiting for any additional info from 510 Families.
Wow, thanks, Peggy! We’ve been visiting as many light installations as we can get to, but hadn’t done the WC/C route yet.
One our way to the last one on the map, found another light show at 5375 Crystal Ranch Drive. Our favorites was definitely the one at St. John Circle. The address was wrong but easy to find the right one.
