Merry & Bright
Get ready to shine, Bargersville! The Merry & Bright Holiday Light Contest is back and brighter than ever for its second year! Residents and businesses across town are invited to deck the halls, rooftops, lawns and storefronts in their most dazzling holiday displays.

Whether you're going for classic elegance or full-on festive fun, this is your chance to spread holiday cheer - and a little friendly competition! Judges will tour the town to select winners in several categories, listed below.

All participants must be within the Town of Bargersville boundaries and will have the option to be added to the holiday light map for spectators. The map will be shared on the Town and Park’s social media pages and website.
