Welcome to Rusty Griswold's
Christmas Light Display
September 30, 2024 - Update
Dear friends, neighbours, and loyal visitors,
For the past decade, it has been my absolute joy to share the magic of the Rusty Griswold Light Display with all of you. Watching so many of you return year after year has been a true highlight of the holiday season for my family and me.
After much thought, I’ve decided to take a break from the display this season. Your continued support and excitement over the years have been truly heartwarming, and while my lights won’t be shining this year, I encourage you to visit the other amazing displays in and around the Burlington area.
Thank you all for understanding, and I look forward to bringing the magic back during next year’s holiday season in 2025.
Wishing you all a wonderful and festive holiday season.

Welcome to the Rusty Griswold Light Display! Our journey began in 2015 as a standalone Christmas light show in Burlington, but today we have transformed into a winter wonderland of holiday lights.
Whether you are exploring the festive displays in nearby areas such as Milton, Hamilton, Mississauga, or Oakville, or simply searching for something to brighten up your holidays in the GTA, our display is the perfect destination. So come and be dazzled by our dancing Christmas lights this season in November 2023.
We are conveniently located, so all you have to do is search for “Christmas Lights near me”.

Who is Rusty Griswold?
Greetings! My name is Mike M. and I call the beautiful city of Burlington, Ontario, Canada my home. Just like countless others, I was inspired by the timeless classic film “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”. Each year, I strive to recapture the magic of Christmas by constructing a magnificent Christmas light display.
As a grown-up who still holds onto the excitement of the holiday season, I take great pride in sharing my passion for the festive spirit with others through my displays. Although it may not be as grandiose as others, I am nonetheless proud of what the Rusty Griswold Light Display has become and it is for this reason that I have adopted the moniker “Rusty Griswold”.
