The Amazing Evansville Christmas Lights Map is LIVE for 2023

The best Christmas displays can be found in one convenient interactive map.

Our friend Sean Owen is a huge fan of everything Christmas. Each year, his own outdoor Christmas display grows with more lights and more inflatables. Sean created the Facebook page Evansville Christmas Lights and Google interactive map so everyone in the Evansville, Indiana area could easily enjoy Christmas lights.

He started the page in 2016 and now has nearly 10,000 followers. The views on his interactive map are off the charts. Sean keeps very busy updating the map as more addresses are submitted.
