Johnny's Hazlet Holiday Lights

Starting Dec.1
This show draws tons of fans every year to see two dozen inflatable decorations and more than 75,000 lights. Viewers can walk through the walkway back to the street.

Historic Cape May
Various locations in town

First week of December through New Year's Day

Kloos Family Lights
13 Sterling Court, East Brunswick

First week of December through approximately New Year's Day 
It takes about $800 in electricity to fuel the annual Kloos Family Lights display, but that doesn't stop the Kloos family from putting on a spectacular light display accompanied by a musical score.
