Albuquerque Christmas Lights Bugg Display

Find Bugg Lights at Menaul School

Bugg Lights Display © Aileen O'Catherine
What started as an Albuquerque Christmas tradition in the northeast heights at the Bugg household has now settled into its permanent home at the Menaul School. The seasonal display was well known for its ever growing display.

See the show weekend nights through Christmas Eve, and some additional nights as the month moves closer to Christmas day. There is always hot chocolate for sale, and although the event is free, donations are welcome. Find the Menaul School at 301 Menaul, just west of the I-25 interchange and east of Broadway.

The Bugg Lights display is free, but donations are gladly accepted. Money raised helps maintain the lights and funds the annual mission students participate in each spring. Like the school, the display has a great deal of heart, and it's easily found right in the middle of Albuquerque.

2012 Bugg Lights Display Schedule
For 2012, the Bugg Lights will have Twelve Nights of Christmas.

Each night of Bugg Lights, Santa's Workshop will be open. Bring young children so they can sit in Santa's lap. Santa's Workshop takes place in the Menaul cafeteria, where other entertainment takes place as well. Enjoy some hot chocolate while listening to music or watching performers.
