Switching on from the 1st weekend in December, neighbourhood Christmas light displays are undoubtedly a favourite Christmas activity for young and old. We’ve put together a list of the best local streets to get your fix this year.
North Ryde
- Chauvel Street
- Schumack Street
- Cutler Parade
These are regarded as some of the best streets in the area with loads of houses to see plus an ice cream van to boot! Best to go on foot.
Also worth checking out around North Ryde:
- Pindari Street
- Gibb Street off Kent Road
- Farrington Parade
Ryde
- Stephen Avenue (off Quarry Road near Midway Shopping Centre)
This is a cracker of a street, with nearly every house in the cul-de-sac lit up. Santa comes on Saturday nights and much of the effort has benefited research into children’s illnesses. Don’t try to park too close, it gets very busy.
Putney
- Gregory Street – a nice little cul-de-sac walk with about 10 houses lit up.
Carlingford
- Oakes Road, Lindisfarne Crescent and Watton Road.
- Sydney Australia Temple – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 756 Pennant Hills Rd, Carlingford
Lane Cove
- Sutherland Street, Lane Cove
- Yallambee Road, Riverview
- Kingslangley Road, Greenwich
Honourable mentions
- Denistone East – Rickard Street
- Rydalmere – Pine Street
- West Ryde – Forsyth Street and Brush Road
Further Afield
- Willoughby – First, Second, Third and Fourth Avenues
- Davidson – Borgnis Street and Cambage Court
- Westmead – Grasmere Ave (Saturday nights in Dec they do sausage sizzle, live music & Mr Whippy!) plus visit Dorest Ave!
- Hornsby Heights – Sydney Road
- Berowra – Richards Close
- Mosman – Prince Albert Avenue
- Thornleigh – Oakleigh Avenue
- Quakers Hill – Mallee Street
