Award-winning holiday lights attraction–featuring four million LED bulbs–officially opens this week

Clifton Mill–or, at least, the holiday version of it so many of us have come to know and love–officially opens later this week.

The Mill and its massive annual lights display will open to the public on Nov. 29. Gates will open 5 p.m., and the lights will come on at 6 p.m.

In the last few years alone, the village of Clifton was named the country’s 14th-best Christmas village by House Beautiful (2022) and the third-best holiday lights display in the USA Today Readers’ Choice awards (2021).

For more than 35 years, the Mill and surrounding property have been beautified with more than four million individual lights (many of them red to match the historic building), including a 100-foot long “waterfall” of lights.

Outside of Dec. 24 and Dec. 25, the lights will be displayed seven nights a week until Dec. 30. The event costs $15 per person, and is located at 75 Water St. in Clifton.
