The Peacock Lane Experience
Since 1932, each house on this little street located in Southeast Portland has been decorating for Christmas. The houses mostly Tudors are adorned with creative light displays that include nativity scenes, rotating Christmas trees, and stunningly life-like replicas of Santa, Frosty, The Grinch, and a wide variety of colorful characters to bring festive joy to the holiday season for Portlanders.

Transportation and Parking
Traffic can become quite heavy in the area during the lights season.

Visitors to Peacock Lane are encouraged to view the lights by foot, if possible, for the best experience. Utilize free street parking several blocks away or public transportation (TriMet buses 15, 75, and 20 have stops within a few blocks; http://trimet.org/go/cgi-bin/plantrip.cgi).

Please be respectful of our neighbors when parking in the area.

Note: Do Not park in Walgreens lot; they maintain their lot for their customers only

Frequently Asked Questions

• With vehicle traffic expected to be heavy, stick to the sidewalks, don’t attempt to walk in the street itself.
• It’s not safe, and it’ll make the drivers turn very Grinch’y , very quickly!
• We recommend driving through because if past years are any indication, the sidewalks will be packed with hundreds, if not thousands, of people.
• There is no charge to see the lights. And you should not be asked for donations or anything “monetary” when on the Lane.
• Vehicle traffic will be heavy, plan to spend some time in traffic
• There are no public restrooms
• There is no special parking area set up. It’s all on-street parking, and we ask that you please be considerate of our neighbors – for example, don’t block driveways even if it’s “Just for a few minutes.”
• Walgreens will tow if you park in their lot and aren’t a customer.
• The lights start on the 15th at 6pm. We do not light up earlier, as it would cause traffic jams almost immediately
