A Christmas lights display in Buffalo Grove, IL featuring over 5,400 lights dancing to 6 songs!

About the display

What’s going on?! What is this?
It’s an animated musical Christmas lights display. Simply put, it’s lights synchronized to music. You drive up to the display, tune your radio to 88.1 FM, and watch as the lights dance to the music!

Who put the display together?
The display was created by Tim Jahn (me). This is my fourth year putting on the display. Christmas is a magical time of year and going to see animated, dancing Christmas lights is all part of the magic!

What was the name of that song?
The songs heard in the display are:

  1. Run Run Rudolph (by Bryan Adams)
