OPINION — St. George isn’t typically known for its bright lights or night life.
Unless, of course – it’s December.
Hedgehog Electric recently released their Christmas Light Spectacular Map, and cars have been lining the neighborhoods ever since to see this year’s biggest and brightest displays.
Two homes in the area are even receiving national attention and have competed in ABC’s The Great Christmas Light Fight (more on that in the video above.)
There’s also a scavenger hunt associated with the map this year; those who participate will be entered to win a 55″ HDTV and Roku Stick from Boulevard Home Furnishings. To download the map and get your clues, click here.
To find out my top 3 favorites, including those featured in the National Competition

I visited each home listed on the map, and I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed.

Christmas lights to music! Tune your radio to 92.5 FM to see the lights to the music.
You need to add toquerville to the list, you can see it from the freeway. Worth the drive.
I totally agree!
My house in la Verkin 747 n 195 w tune to 96.5fm
Toquerville! Lots of very good displays, and one of the best (if not the best) in the county- 1 1/2 blocks west of the main drag on Old Church Rd. Check it out! Well worth the drive.
LOL ! Xmas lighting. nothing like letting burglars know which houses to break into eh ? That’s the same people that set boxes outside next to the garbage cans so the burglars know what’s in the house.
