Light Up The Town 2021

The Children’s Discovery Museum is hosting a city-wide light celebration. This year’s holiday season fills the entire town as businesses and individuals decorate their properties with as many lights as possible. The registered parties will be part of a city-wide map for community members to drive or walk by each location to admire the decorations.

We are so excited to release the 2021 Light Up The Town Map. Created by the wildly talented Serena Sanborn, this year’s map includes 30+ decorated sites to help fill you with holiday cheer. 

Our judges will review houses and reveal the top 5 in the coming week, so stay tuned to hear about the best spots to visit.

A big thank you to everyone who participated this year- none of this could happen without your enthusiasm and holiday spirit!
