Oak Hills Lights 🎄
1606 Oak Hills St

Oak Hills Lights is a musical multimedia light show that started in 2020. We are on the corner of Bertling and Bel Air at the top of the hill.
We don’t accept donations on-site, and ask that you donate directly to:
Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary
For the best view, head east from Cape Rock on Huntington Dr. That’s where the line usually forms. Please don’t block driveways.
2322 Earleen Dr. 🎄
Cape Girardeau, MO
We don’t have any information about this show, other than you can see it off Lexington near the fire station, and it’s easy to get to from Abbey Rd. or Kent Dr. If you are a fan of singing trees- you will love it! If this is your show- please reach out if there is anything you would like to share about it:
Lighting the Lane *
716 Strawberry Lane
This is a pretty musical light show. It’s easy to get to/from.
*2024: It had been storming all day when we drove by and only part of it was lit up. We don’t know how complete their show is this year.
If this is your show- please reach out if there is anything you would like to share about it:
Larger Conventional Light and Prop Displays
Groves – 1719 Brookwood Dr, Cape Girardeau 🎄
There is construction on Cape Rock this year, but you can still get to Brookwood from Cape Rock on the Perryville side, or Perryville itself. This is a large set of displays spanning several houses. It’s been a “must-see” in Cape for many years now.
It is also very close to Oak Hills Lights:
1621 Mulberry St, Jackson MO 🎄
“We’re mostly a DIY display. All of the wooden pieces were made by us, including the Santa & reindeer on the roof. We also have a mailbox where kids can send letters to Santa & they will receive a letter back. Part of the lights are set to music.”
Candlestick Lane (Fairlane Drive), Multi-Home Neighborhood Display 🎄
2038 Perryville Rd, Cape Girardeau, MO Not lit this year. 🙁

Here is an updated 2024 “Lit List”, courtesy of Jessie Green. She compiles a new list every year. This list is great because it is organized geographically, making it perfect for driving.
Media Information: Anyone is free to republish our list. We ask that if you publish it online or in print that you credit us or provide a direct link to it. (https://oakhillslights.com/area-light-list) If you use Jessie Green’s list (above), please credit her.
For more information, please email us at .
Most of the initial information for our list came from the Southeast Missourian. The same list was published and shared by other local media outlets and social media accounts and appears to have originated in 2019. It was not updated for a few years, and many of the locations listed no-longer had displays, so we decided to try to create a new list for everyone.
