What is Christmas on Comstock Arizona?
Let’s start with what is Christmas on Comstock and why it is a date night or family date to go on. Essentially an entire street in Gilbert, AZ (Comstock street) got together and decided to go all out with a light show. Each home is decorated to the nines starting Dec 1 through the holiday season. More than that, they’ve animated the lights on the street to coordinate to music. You can hear three different songs with complete light show display and coordination.
It’s a street you can tune in your radio to the music and drive through. There’s also parking throughout the surrounding area so you can get out and walk the lights. We really like to drive through at least once, and get out and walk up and down the street.
The Comstock Light Show
It’s really a exciting light show in a Gilbert neighborhood where adjacent homes have lights with movement and strobes to various upbeat Christmas music songs.
In fact, the Comstock Christmas neighborhood is so well done, it’s been featured on The Great Christmas Light Fight on ABC!
It’s well organized, and completely free. They do use the platform for a good cause; to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation. Look for a donation box located along the street in several locations. They are all about helping Arizona children and granting wishes to wish kids in need!
Christmas on Comstock Directions
It’s pretty easy to plug in the Christmas on Comstock address into GPS:
3702 E Comstock Dr, Gilbert, AZ 85296
But there are definitely a few things to note with Christmas on Comstock Directions.
They make everything a one-way entrance for safety. It’s roughly off Higley and Elliot in Gilbert, AZ. You’ll want to come Eastbound on Elliot and turn right onto S. Cole Drive. The signs guide you in there from there with information on what radio station you should tune into.
If you go on a busy night you’ll likely wait in a long line down Elliot. I’d make sure you get in the right lane quickly so you don’t miss getting in the queue. And, of course, you can always plan a weeknight or go early or late December to avoid the crowds.
Christmas on Comstock in Gilbert
It’s incredibly kid and family-friendly, but there’s no shortage of couples out on a date too. We love Tia Rosa’s in the same area for really delicious Mexican food. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area, so dinner and a walk through Christmas on Comstock really makes for a fun evening.
It’s one of our favorite things to do in December in Gilbert. Even if it gets crowded, it’s worth the wait. Pro tip, it’s most crowded Friday nights and Sunday nights. If you go right as it gets dark, or hit a weeknight, you’ll avoid a lot of the crowd!
And truly one of the easiest ways to get in the holiday spirit and feel the magic of Christmas!
