Each year from mid-November until the New Year, the small Delta town of Cleveland, Mississippi transforms into a Christmas wonderland with over 1,000,000 Christmas lights in displays throughout its vibrant and charming downtown during its 50 Nights of Lights celebration. The Christmas lights displays, some of which are three-stories high, line an almost half-mile greenway that courses through the historic downtown. The celebration includes weekly events including carriage rides, a Macy’s Day style parade, visits from Santa and other holiday happenings. In addition to the lights, our shops and boutiques go all out with some of the best window displays in America, making Cleveland a real-life and very accessible “Hallmark Christmas” town! Cleveland definitely has one of the best Christmas lights displays in Mississippi!
