When people think about holiday decorations in New York City, they usually think of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

 

But some of the best sights to be seen are actually in Dyker Heights, South Brooklyn, where there's this small community of #DykerHeights putting up a crazy surreal show every year. 

 

Since 1980 these families, mostly Italian-American, give life to a spectacular competition to adorn their houses in the most bizarre and festive way.

100,000 people come visit this real Christmas village every December. 

 

 

 

It's absolutely worth the trip down there. On Instagram we can see what happens this year!
