Festival of Lights 2025

This holiday season, take a stroll under the gleam of over 500,000 Christmas lights at the Washington DC Temple grounds. Then, come inside the Visitors’ Center to warm up and enjoy yourself at one of the nightly Christmas concerts. This free annual tradition, centered on the Savior, Jesus Christ, is a great way to spend time with friends and family.

The 2025 Festival of Lights will be held from December 4, 2025, to January 1, 2026. The lights will turn on each evening at 4:30 PM and turn off at 8:45 PM.

Take a look at this year’s evening concerts here.
