Severns-Pease Christmas Light Display

Although this light display is closed, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed seeing this display for a few years. I am even more thankful that I got to share this wonderful display with my loved ones before it closed down. It’ll always be my favorite xmas time display :)

According to the Facebook page of the Severns-​Pease Christmas Light Display, Dave Severns passed away after a long fought battle with cancer. The posting also stated that he got so much enjoyment from sharing the Christmas Lights with everyone, and last year was so important to him.
The Severns and Peases have decided not to continue the lights but they ask that you honor him by giving to Second Harvest in his name.

This was a pretty fantastic light display. It was a little gaudy but totally awesome — 88,000 solar-​powered lights synchronized to music across two front yards!!! And for 25 cents, you can see «snow» come out of the snow machine (it’s soap)! Some of the synchronizations were better than others. The SF Giants tribute was a nice touch with the «Don’t Stop Believin’» song by Journey. It added some nice variety. I really liked that it was a mostly homemade family and friends project and they use it to raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank. Such a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season.
I can’t wait to see what other cool additions they will have for 2011!

This was super cool!
Rolled out there with the kidlets on Sunday night and they were totally excited! They loved the snow machine (take quarters so you can make it snow!)
We got out and walked out in front of the houses and watched the lights show. It was definitely cooler when there was an upbeat song on. It’s pretty amazing that the lights move in time to each song and the lights are impressive.
I loved that many of the houses in the surrounding blocks had a lot of lights on them too, I mean with gas prices these days, who can afford to drive around and hope to stumble upon some lights???
Added bonus: This is a canned food drive and I’m all about paying it forward to the community so bring a few cans of food to donate:)

Awesome display… love Rudolph and the Santa Claus hologram.

These two houses are wonderful. The music is great. Santa in the window is the Best. This attraction is new this year.

Before you get your hopes up let me just say that they don’t have *that* many lights, but the cool thing about it is that not only are they synchronized to Christmas music (104.1), the 88,000 computer controlled lights are 100% solar powered! They even have a snow machine, and on one Saturday during their spectacle, for a $ 10 donation you can take a ride in one of seven Teslas — all proceeds are donated!
If you forget to bring your own hot chocolate no worries, there’s children selling bake sale items and hot chocolate!
Tips:
*runs for 6 weeks from the 1^st Saturday after Thanksgiving through the 1^st of the year
*if you’re going for Christmas music, avoid 8 – 8:30pm where they do their «nonchristmas fun songs’
*they add new features every year so be sure to check it out
*bring canned food donations as they collect food for second harvest food bank and match all donations!
*visit their website
for detailed playlists, pictures, videos, statistics, etc.

The best Christmas display in the Bay area.
