The News-Press Launches Interactive Map to Guide Holiday Light Tours Across Southwest Florida
The News-Press unveiled its 2025 map showing Christmas light displays around Southwest Florida. Viewers can see houses, stores, and attractions lit up for the season. The map stretches across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Marco Island, and Bonita Springs.
Anyone can submit their own lights.
The map debuted in late November and gets new additions daily. Families can plan their own tours through lit-up streets without help from guides or paid services.
Click any icon to pull up display details. The + and – buttons zoom in and out. A target button pinpoints where you're standing right now. Each entry tells you what's there and connects to Google Maps if you need directions.
If you want your display listed, fill out the online form. You'll answer questions about your address, how many bulbs you strung up, and what makes your setup worth seeing.
The News-Press and Naples Daily News both run this as part of their December reporting. Charles Runnells covers arts and fun events for them. Dave Osborn edits regional stories.
If you have questions about adding your display, call Runnells at 239-335-0368 or send an email to crunnells@usatodayco.com. Most people just use the web request and skip the phone call.
