About this event
The Christmas Lights Tour is a tour of some of the best Christmas displays in the Twin Cities suburbs. This year we're running through Shoreview, Circle Pines, Lino Lakes, Lexington, Moundsview, Fridley and Blaine! This year we're giving you two different opportunities to run, Friday, Dec 16 and/or Saturday, Dec. 17.
The format will be the same as last year. You will follow a marked course on a map and answer questions at various lights displays. We've found some real great ones this year! The area is heavily lit overall, and there are a couple in particular that are just stunning.
This is a self-scoring event, so there are no awards. We’ll give you the answers at the endpoint so you can see how well you did.
The start point is the Shoreview Community Center at 4580 Victoria St N, Shoreview, MN 55126. Friday night registration is from 6:45 to 7:30 PM, with cars starting at 7:00 plus their car number. Saturday night registration is from 5:45 to 6:30 PM, with cars starting at 6:00 plus their car number. Room is limited in the registration area, so please come to registration no more than 15 minutes prior to your start time.
The end point will be the Acapulco restaurant at 9360 Baltimore St NE #160, Blaine, MN 55449, in case you want to leave a car or something. Great food and plenty of room for us. Cars will arrive there 2-1/2 hours after starting.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
