In December each year, The Boulevard in Ivanhoe glows with a display of lights, decorations and Christmas spirit.
We support this resident-led tradition by focusing on balancing traffic management, resident access and the safety of those who visit.
While some resident decorations start appearing from early December, traffic management, toilets and selected community food stalls will be in place during the peak visitation period from 18 to 24 December.
Planning
Residents of The Boulevard in Ivanhoe go to great lengths to create magical light displays. Decorated houses can be found along various sections of The Boulevard and Warncliffe Road, with additional displays in some surrounding streets.
Arriving and parking
Light displays start appearing from early to mid-December. By the weekend before Christmas, most participating houses are illuminated and on full display.
Please respect residential noise levels and leave the area by 11pm.
There is no dedicated car park in the immediate area. Vehicles may be parked in surrounding residential streets. However, all parking signs and road rules must be followed.
Ensure your vehicle is not parked across driveways and leave at least 3 metres of road width clear for emergency vehicles and traffic.
Consult our traffic management map (PDF, 297KB) .
By car
This is one of the best ways to experience the lights. The Boulevard is 1.8km long, with decorated houses spread intermittently along its length.
