Christmas Lights Tour In Dyker Heights

If you have already decided to do the New York Christmas Lights Tour in Dyker Heights, we want to congratulate you; you will take the best gift of your life. This experience is not bought, it is lived.

As soon as the Christmas season begins, every street and Avenue of the city lights up, but at Dyker Heights, in Brooklyn, there are authentic competitions between neighbors for their home decorations.

Since 1895, Dyker Heights has been known as a wealthy neighborhood, full of luxury houses into a suburban community. Each house has driveways and private yards, something that is really uncommon in New York.

Everything started sometime in the 1980´s, but in 1985 the New York Christmas Lights Tour officially began, touring through the most illuminated neighborhoods in the city like Bensonhurst, Canarsie, Bay Ridge, and, obviously, Dyker Heights. Since then, there have been some reports, newspaper articles, documentaries and news programs, talking about the marvelous lighting in Dyker Heights, so the visits increased and more and more neighbors joined the celebration.

They work for weeks to prepare for this tradition, with investments over 20 thousand dollars per house, and for that same reason, its size and uniqueness will not leave you indifferent. In fact, most of the house owners hire local professional decorators to make, ready for the season, the facades and interiors of their houses.

There are 2 houses that have always had the crown over, first of all there is Lucy Spata´s house (1152 on 85th Street) that, for 30 years, has maintained its idea of ​​having the most decorated Christmas house in history with a Santa theme, but there is also Alfred Polizzotto´s house (at 1145 84th St) that keeps a Nutcracker style.

What happened then? Well, the Christmas spirit was transmitted through the rest of the neighbors and a contest has been developed for choosing the best decorated house. That’s why during Christmas, Dyker Heights neighbors create the most curious and unique decorations for the perfect NYC Christmas Lights Tour.

Now, a big question comes to our minds, does it have something to do with Danny DeVito’s “A Neighbor with Little Lights” movie? We don´t know, but how about a Dyker Heights Christmas lights tour in this atmosphere, it will possibly add a touch of sparkle in your tour around New York.
