Bring the magic of the holidays to life!
Welcome to this year’s Let It Glow — Gig Harbor’s annual Holiday Lights Contest, where local families go all-out to make the season shine. This year’s map features a curated selection of truly standout displays chosen to give you the most festive, memorable route possible.
Why the Map Is Smaller This Year
You may notice that this year’s map features fewer homes than in past contests. That’s intentional. Based on feedback from last year, we wanted to create a tighter, more impactful tour — one with only the truly epic displays that are absolutely worth the drive. With gas prices still high and families trying to be mindful of extra miles, a curated list felt like the right move. A few standout homes are located a bit outside the main cluster, but we kept them because their displays were genuinely too good to leave out.
Every home on this year’s map earned its spot with a standout display. Because we kept the list small and high-quality, we’re keeping things simple with one overall winner for 2025. We hope you enjoy this year’s short-and-spectacular holiday tour!

Before You Choose Your Route:
A couple of homes have special viewing instructions. Check the notes below so you don’t miss anything!
House #6 – Gig Harbor Waterfront
This display sits across from Local Whimsy downtown, and it’s best enjoyed up close. Park nearby, stretch your legs, and take a little stroll — the magic happens once you’re out of the car!
House # 7 – Raft Island Bridge Home
This display is located just before the Raft Island Bridge. For the safest and best view, cross the bridge, make a U-turn on the island, and drive back through. This allows you to see the full display without blocking traffic.
