Dyker Heights Snowflake Display 2014 Vincent Gulizio www.gulizio.com
Christmas is almost here! If you haven't been to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn to see the decorated Christmas lighted houses, you have to see it in person!
There is even a Facebook group devoted to it - check it out here!
Below are some tips and pointers for getting there and the best way to view the area.
Enjoy and share your photos with me @ terresaling on Instagram and Twitter.
Happy holidays,

REPOST from gonyc.com:
Getting to the Dyker Lights:
- Dyker Heights, Brooklyn: 11th Avenue to 13th Avenue and from 83rd to 86th Street
- Nearest Subways: D/M trains to 18th Ave
Dyker Lights Tips:
- Some displays go up right after Thanksgiving, but for the best viewing visit in mid-December
- Displays on weekends tend to be better than on weeknights
- Visit between 5-9 p.m. for the most intense lighting, before folks turn off the lights for the evening.
- Please Note: it's almost a mile from the subway to the densest areas with lights, so you might want to take a car or drive for the easiest viewing options
- Dress for the weather or prepare for slow-going in your car as folks ogle the lights while they drive
VISITOR INFORMATION:
Lights go up after Thanksgiving and last until
the New Year!
It just wouldn't be Christmas in Brooklyn
without them. Visit the Dyker Heights section of
Brooklyn (cross-streets: high 80's (83rd thru
86th mostly) between 11th thru 13th
avenues...and beyond!) and see the best
Christmas-light displays around. You can't miss
it. Post your best pics here!
