Fitchburg has had a long history of displaying Christmas lights and decorations at both homes and businesses. This year the city had a Tour of Lights where interested residents signed up to put their displays on a map. People could then drive by the displays between 6 and 9pm on December 19 and vote for the best display. There were about 50 displays on the list but many more residents had displays from small to very large. Most of these displays will be up through New Year’s Day and we encourage everyone to drive around to see them. The Fitchburg Historical Society has taken a few pictures of the displays including the winner of the Tour of Lights at 2700 Marledge St. (the back yard can be seen from Lacy Rd. at Aberdeen Ct.). If you would like to have your display shown on our website, please send us a photo at
