An Annual Christmas Tradition

About Peacock Lane

Since 1932, each house on this little street in Southeast Portland has been decorating for Christmas. The houses, mostly Tudors, are adorned with creative light displays that include nativity scenes, rotating Christmas trees, and stunningly life-like replicas of Santa, Frosty, The Grinch, and a wide variety of colorful characters to bring festive joy to the holiday season for Portlanders.

Each resident is responsible for their own light display. Some want to go over the top, and some prefer a more subtle approach. Peacock Lane residents are NOT contractually obligated to decorate their houses. This fun is run purely on voluntarism and holiday spirit.

Old-fashioned Holiday Spirit.

Lights begin December 15, 6:00 pm - 11:00 PM!
