Map: Great Holiday Displays Around Brick

These days the tradition of driving around and looking at intricately decorated homes has taken new heights. Homeowners flank front yards with giant inflatable scenes, complete with moving parts and falling snow. 

Lights blink and flash the whole palette of colors, with the more elaborate ones flickering to music in a merry choreographed show.

Whether looking for traditional, grand, over-the-top or entertaining, local houses and businesses don't disappoint this holiday.

Here is a map of some of the local winners, such as a house in Toms River that won a JCP&L contest, to the Brick Holiday Contest winners, to a Wall Township home that's gained national attention. Plus our map points out some of the official town displays and those you've known over the years.
