Where to See The Best Christmas Lights in Perth 2020
If you’re looking to see the best Christmas lights Perth has to offer, you’ve come to the right place.
It’s that special time of the year again where our quiet, sleepy neighbourhoods spring to life as families and friends gather to witness a spectacular display of Christmas lights. And honestly, what’s there not to love about Christmas in Perth?
You’ve got neighbours cleaning out the Bunnings light section and going head-to-head as they deck out their homes with more competitive spirit than the Derby.
Streets filled to the brim with families, kids, couples and friends, wandering through each enchanting display taking selfies. Heck some streets even have sausage sizzles and coffee vendors.
Hardly the nanna state if you ask me.
So here it is folks, where to see Perth’s best Christmas lights in 2020.
