McKenzie Holiday Lights

The McKenzie Community Partners are sponsoring the McKenzie Holiday Lights event. Organizers say they’d love to see even more lights up this year than last, especially on homes and properties that can be seen from the road. People are asked to install their lighted decorations by December 1st and take them down on New Year’s Day.

Last year featured the first large-lit display - Santa Riding a Salmon at the McKenzie River Discovery Center at Leaburg Lake. Two more have been added this year - a Santa Bear at the Leaburg Store, a drift boat with Santa, and a snowman at The Jeweled Messenger near the Goodpasture Covered Bridge.

Organizers have a large lit display they could provide to be ‘adopted’ by a business or home on the highway further upriver. Contact [email protected] with any questions.
