The Mayor’s Sparkling Christmas Lights Contest returns to downtown this holiday season, inviting every storefront and property owner to transform their exterior displays into a festive showcase. In a community-inclusive effort, businesses across the district are challenged to decorate their storefronts throughout November for a chance to win cash prizes.
On December 5, a panel of special guest judges visited participating locations to evaluate entries in five distinct categories. The judging took place from 6:00 to 10:00 PM as part of December’s First Friday ArtWalk, turning the night into a celebration of creativity, community spirit, and holiday cheer. Winners and runners-up will be announced in each of the five categories, recognizing a range of approaches—from traditional holiday charm to bold, modern displays.
From December 5 to December 31, the public can vote for their favorite decorations and help determine which one will take home the People’s Choice Award!…
