Huntsville City Council announces Deck the Districts holiday light contest

Published on November 19, 2024

The Huntsville City Council is inviting residents to put their holiday spirit on display by participating in the Deck the Districts holiday light competition. Open to homeowners across all five districts, the contest encourages participants to creatively deck the exterior of their homes with boughs of holly as well as festive lights and decorations.

Participants should complete the online entry form and submit photos of their dazzling holiday displays. City Council staff will judge entries the week of Dec. 9, with winners announced during the City Council meeting on Dec. 19. Each district winner will receive a special prize, a festive decorative yard sign and bragging rights for the next year.

Deck the Districts is a wonderful way for Huntsville to come together and celebrate the season. This gives our residents the chance to not only brighten their homes, but also inspire their neighbors to spread their own holiday cheer. It’s a festive, fun tradition that will make our city shine even brighter this holiday season.” — City Council President John Meredith
