Lights of Lobethal

Lights of Lobethal is an annual community Christmas lights festival held throughout the town of Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, about 30 km east of Adelaide. Since the 1950s, residents have decorated homes, gardens and streets with extensive festive lighting. The event transforms the town into a large open-air display each December, attracting visitors for evening driving and walking tours and is regarded as South Australia's largest community Christmas lights display.

Visitors can expect a town-wide evening display of Christmas lights on private homes, gardens, businesses and public spaces throughout Lobethal. The experience is primarily a self-guided driving or walking tour along Main Street and surrounding residential streets. Displays include illuminated houses, themed installations, and decorated front yards. The town centre hosts festive stalls, food vendors and community activities during the festival period, with streets busy with pedestrians and slow-moving traffic after dark.
