christmas lights the boulevard ivanhoe

The Boulevard in Ivanhoe, VIC turns into a sparkly traffic jam each December as residents put on a massive Christmas lights display.

It’s a long-running local tradition, drawing big crowds, traffic management and parking restrictions from council.

Expect evening viewing in the lead-up to Christmas—specific dates and times vary each year, so check current council info before you set off.

Go early, be patient, respect the residents, and consider public transport or a park-and-walk to keep the festive spirit intact.
