City of Lights in Lowell
The City of Lowell announced the return of City of Lights for Saturday, November 29, 2025.
The City of Lights parade stepped off from Jackson Street at 4:30PM, turned left down Central Street, then left onto Merrimack Street, and ended at Lowell City Hall.
The parade culminates in the lighting of Lowell City Hall and the Wannalancit Smokestack.
City of Lowell electricians installed approximately 50,000 feet of holiday lights on Merrimack, Market and Central streets and at Lowell City Hall.
Lowell has not posted a 2026 City of Lights date that we could find. Check lowellma.gov before you plan around it.
Lowell Historic Board: when lights may need review
Within the Downtown Lowell Historic District, the erection, demolition, or alteration of any exterior feature of a building, structure, or parcel requires the review and approval of the Lowell Historic Board before work begins and any other City approvals are issued.
The Lowell Historic Board has design review, permitting, and enforcement authority in 11 districts including the Downtown Lowell Historic District and ten additional neighborhood districts.
The Acre Neighborhood District is a design review district created on October 12, 1999 by the Lowell City Council.
Lowell has not published a rule on temporary holiday lights. If your house is in one of these districts, ask the Historic Board Administrator at 978-674-1443 before you book.
