Festival of Lights Winners 2024

Madison Recreation hosted our 2nd Annual Festival of Lights and Scavenger Hunt!

We invited the Madison community to decorate their homes and businesses with light displays.

And, WOW!  Did they deliver!

Folks were invited to follow the maps, look for fun “scavenger hunt” elements in the displays, and vote in various categories for their favorite displays.

And the winners are….

Most FESTIVE Display

Griswold Christmas

Clark would be proud!  Lots of lights and lots of cheer at our Most Festive Display!

(We had some write-ins, including incredible light displays that didn’t even enter the festival this year!  You know who you are, and we love what you do!)

Classic and Classy

It’s a Tie!

Classic Christmas Joy and Snowdreams

The Classic Christmas Joy display was warm yellow lights with pops of Christmas colors.

Snowdreams gave us dancing snowflakes and candy canes.

Whos of Whoville and Madison beware!  That Sneaky Mr. Grinch was at it again for a consecutive win!

Did you see him, hiding behind the big flower pot?!
