With nightly Christmas concerts, international nativities and Christmas trees, and over 500,000 Christmas lights that illuminate the temple grounds, the annual Festival of Lights at the Washington DC Temple returns from December 4, 2025 to January 1, 2026. The lights will turn on each night at 4:30 PM and turn off at 8:45 PM. This tradition is a great way to focus on and remember the Savior, Jesus Christ, during the busy holiday season.
