8 Year Old 'Superhero' from Beacon Turns on Holiday Light Display

This past weekend seemed to be the perfect time to get into the holiday spirit. Houses all across the Hudson Valley have their holiday displays up and ready for viewing throughout their neighborhoods.

Drive-Thru Light Displays All the Rage in the HV

One of the best things to come out of the COVID 2020 Lockdown has to be the addition of drive-thru light displays across the mid-Hudson region. For years, the ERDAJT's Christmas Light Display on Patrick Lane in LaGrange was the go-to spot for Christmas light displays.

And while ERDAJT is coming back for another record-breaking year, there are a handful of other light displays to check out in and around the Hudson Valley, like Bethel Woods Peace, Love and Lights, or the Dutchess County Fairgrounds Wonderland of Lights.
