A Tacky Light Display

In the spirit of the holidays, the Richmond LocalWiki is home to a comprehensive list of homes and businesses with "tacky Christmas lights". They range from subtle to over-the-top. Some are truly tacky, others are classy.

The best part is, you can add or edit any of these listings! Please consider adding helpful information for the light displays such as cross streets, bulb count, history of the displays, unique features, etc. See our Help Section if you need assistance.
