We invite you to experience a holiday tradition thoughtfully designed to inspire wonder and bring the community together. Each light is carefully synchronized to music, creating a display that celebrates the spirit of the season with warmth and joy.

Simply drive up, tune your radio to 97.5 FM, and enjoy the show from the comfort of your car. You’re not just watching — you control the show! Click the button on our website to vote for your favorite song and see your choice come to life in lights.

Our display is 100% DIY — you can’t buy this in a store. Every element is hand-built right here by our family (and a few bribed friends). We source lights directly from China, 3D-print parts to mount them on EMT, and assemble each prop by hand. Every prop is then mapped inside a program called xLights, where the real magic happens.

Each light is individually programmed, with props assigned to specific ports and controllers. Every song takes up to 50 hours to choreograph so that every beat, shimmer, and sparkle matches perfectly to the music.

Today, our show features roughly 50,000 individual pixels and takes about two weeks to set up each year.

Thank you for visiting and for making Tell Family Lights part of your holiday memories. We hope our display brings a smile to your face and a little holiday magic to your night.
