The temperature is chilly, night falls early and it's a good excuse to cruise around the city with hot cocoa in hand and your radio station tuned to holiday music to check out the best Sioux Falls Christmas light displays.

This year, the Argus Leader put together a list of dozens of displays that include everything from elaborate synchronized lights to seemingly impossibly large collections of inflatables.

Take a look at the Google Map below for the locations throughout Sioux Falls. We've also included suggested driving routes based on where you live in town (We get it: gas is expensive right now).

To see those hour-long suggested routes, just click the expand button on the top left corner of the map below:

  • Central Sioux Falls route: 50-minute drive, 14 miles

  • Southwestern Sioux Falls: 60-minute drive, 21 miles

  • Eastern Sioux Falls: 67-minute drive, 21 miles

After you end your drive at Falls Park's Winter Wonderland, we also have suggested activities afterward for date nights or family festivities.

So load up your favorite Christmas treats and use our interactive map to guide you to all the displays you’ve helped us discover this year.

It’s not the holidays without some charcuterie. Glacial Lakes Distillery will be hosting a holiday-themed charcuterie tasting menu pared with holiday cocktails at 6 p.m. Dec. 21.
