GIVE & GLOW

with The Bugg Lights

The Bugg Lights have always been about community — families gathering, kids laughing, and neighbors sharing a little light with one another. Many visitors choose to bring canned goods or pantry staples, knowing they'll go straight to Storehouse Albuquerque and support local families who could use an extra hand this season.

If you feel inspired to give, simply drop your items into the donation bin as you enjoy the display. Every contribution, no matter the size, becomes part of the tradition and helps spread the warmth far beyond our yard.

Plan Your Visit

The Bugg Lights shine every night from Thanksgiving to New Year's. Opening night begins at 6pm, and all following nights run from 5pm to 10pm. Take your time as you walk through, enjoy the lights, snap photos, and soak in the holiday atmosphere while being mindful of the neighborhood.

Watch the Little Ones

Keep children close and avoid touching the displays. Some pieces are old, delicate, and a little pokey. Staying hands off keeps everyone safe.
