Meridian lights 75-foot tree and tunnel at Scentsy Commons

Residents of Meridian can view one of the region's largest holiday light displays for free starting Friday, Nov. 13. The Scentsy Commons campus in Meridian will host the 10th Annual Scentsy Commons Christmas Lights Ceremony, marking a return of a local tradition that has drawn visitors for nearly a decade.

The event begins at 6 p.m. with an official lighting ceremony. A countdown will start at 6:15 p.m. leading up to the activation of the display. The centerpiece is a 75-foot-tall illuminated Christmas tree. The installation also includes a walk-through light tunnel, a feature that has become a popular spot for family photographs.

Organizers describe the display as featuring hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights across the campus. The celebration is open to the public at no cost. Visitors are encouraged to dress warmly, as the entire event takes place outdoors. Food vendors will be present to serve attendees.

Twelve food trucks will operate on the grounds from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on opening night. Menu items include tacos, barbecue, pizza, churros, and donuts. The trucks will remain on site during the ceremony hours, allowing guests to dine before or during their walk through the lights.

The lights will remain illuminated every night from sunset until sunrise through Jan. 18, 2027. This schedule gives residents and visitors more than two months to view the display. Attendance on opening night is not required to see the lights.

Pets, alcohol, and smoking are not permitted on the Scentsy Commons campus. The event is located at Scentsy Commons in Meridian. The 10th Annual Scentsy Commons Christmas Lights Ceremony serves as a kickoff to the holiday season in the Treasure Valley.

The display is expected to be a major attraction for the area. Previous years have established the event as a significant local gathering. This year's edition continues that pattern with the same free admission and extensive lighting setup.
