The holidays are aglow on Long Island, and this year’s LI Lights Map is ready to guide you to the best and brightest displays across the island. Created by Jon Dignam of Commack, the 2024 edition features hundreds of homes and attractions decked out in dazzling holiday lights. With millions of views and a growing following, this community-driven project has become a beloved seasonal tradition.
The LI Lights Map is a treasure trove of twinkling displays, showcasing everything from whimsical winter wonderlands to awe-inspiring synchronized light shows. Each entry on the map includes a photo and address, making it a snap to plan your holiday lights tour. “It’s super easy to use,” Dignam told LongIsland.com in a previous interview.
This festive resource has gained immense popularity, garnering over 3.4 million views in recent years. But the map’s creator emphasizes that it’s a community effort. “The success of this map is due to so many nice people taking a moment to share some info or pictures,” Dignam said.
Adding to or verifying a display is simple. Snap a couple of photos, note the address, and email them to Dignam at [email protected]. For those who prefer spreadsheets, there’s a Google Sheet listing all homes organized by town, making it easy to explore displays in your neighborhood or venture further afield.

“This is a yearly community project that I run,” Dignam shared in an online post. “There are a lot of houses that need to be verified, so assistance is always needed.”
Information about the map and submission process comes directly from lilightsmap.com, where detailed instructions are available for both iPhone and Android users. For example, iPhone users can click on a green bulb, swipe up to view photos, and easily navigate to the location via Google Maps.
