Be sure to keep an eye out for a little extra sparkle this year. We added a surprise judged award. Throughout the week, you may notice holiday lightbulb yard signs appearing at select displays. These special markers come from our super-secret team of elves, who are quietly cruising the neighborhoods to spot standout creativity and holiday magic.

Winners will be announced on social media on Monday, Dec. 22.

Thank you to the City of Newcastle Community Activities Commission and Puget Sound Energy (PSE) for helping bring this special community tradition to life.
