BIG announcement folks! The Christmas 2023 show is currently being edited. You can slowly see our progress being uploaded to our youtube channel (link in the comments).

Once again we're honored to be able to participate in the Xlights around the world 2023 project (located here at https://xlightsaroundtheworld.com) with our submission of Kid on Christmas by Pentatonix feat. Megan Trainor.

Our display is located at 2:01, bottom row, middle pane. Link to the entire youtube video is located here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1-yCbBAljI&t=338s

If you couldn't come or make it in person, we are planning on getting the videos recorded, uploaded and shared out right here (I promise). However that won't happen until at least January 15th due to work schedules. (Filming is not a 1 person job, I assure you!)

We are already planning our 2024 upgrades as well, so a busy year in the off season already it appears.

CHRISTMAS 2023 SHOW IS LIVE
Everyday from 5-10 PM until Wednesday, December 27th.
Tune your car's FM Radio to 102.9
Location: 204 E Wapella St, Minooka IL 60447

Show is roughly 40 minutes with 11 songs.

As always, please don't block the driveways, turn your headlights off and keep your radios at a reasonable level (our neighbors will appreciate it). Additionally, due to the traffic on our busy road, we recommend you don't block the street - but rather park across the street in the gravel.

Happy holidays!

Please pardon our mess.. we're testing our show with the anticipation to go start the show for the public on Monday, December 4th - Wednesday, December 27th from 5-9 PM each day.

As always when you show up, turn your FM radio to 102.9. Please turn off your headlights, don't block the driveways or the road and keep your radio at a decent level. Our neighbors will appreciate you.

The best viewing angle is actually actually off the road across from the house (IE: NOT our driveway or the mailboxes) in the gravel area.

We can't wait to get this season kicked off!

Located at 204 E Wapella, Minooka, IL 60447
