The National Zoo’s annual holiday lights extravaganza, ZooLights, returns November 29 and lasts until January 1. The lights will be on from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every night, except for December 24, 25, and 31. Admission is free, and more than 500,000 LED lights will be featured. Live music and “dozens of large, glowing animal lanterns”—a new addition this year, according to the zoo—will also be part of the event.

From December 6 to January 5, between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. daily, 11 art installations will be on display across Georgetown. This is the sixth time GLOW is taking over some of the neighborhood’s outdoor spaces, and there will be walking tours centered on the displays.

Just weeks ago, Nationals Park hosted the World Series for the first time ever—and now it’s home to “Enchant Christmas,” a light-filled maze and market. The event runs until December 29. The maze is 90,000 square feet and includes a 100-foot pine tree. There is also an ice skating trail on site, plus a certain jolly, red-suited guest.

Also for all of December, Georgia Avenue NW between Upshur Street NW and Barry Place NW will be lit up with holiday lights from small businesses. The event is being organized by nonprofit District Bridges, and a holiday lights award ceremony is planned for December 14 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A holiday tree and menorah lighting at the Walter Reed development in Northwest is set for December 14 from 5 p.m. 6:30 p.m. A choir of local musicians led by Imani Grace, the lead vocalist for the Washington National Cathedral’s jazz band, will provide music. The tree will be 20 feet and the menorah 12 feet.

Palmer Alley NW at the CityCenterDC development downtown is decorated with bright snowflakes for an installation called “Dream Closet.” The development also has a huge holiday tree along New York Avenue NW.

On November 30 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Wharf development will light up its holiday tree and kick off the season with thousands of waterfront lights. (Ice skating will be available.) A holiday boat parade is set for December 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sixty lit-up boats and fireworks are anticipated.

The iconic Brookland basilica—the largest Catholic church in North America—will feature over 50 trees, 65,000 lights, and 500 poinsettias during the Christmas season. The church is open between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily.
