Light Up
Rutland County
2024

Be the Light!

5 years of Light Up Rutland County!

​

​Light Up Rutland County began in the winter of 2020 as a way to remind us that we can make each other’s days brighter in simple ways and feel connected even in dark times. This winters lights and decorating competition encourages everyone to decorate in a way that celebrates and honors what this winter season means to them. The decorations brighten our community and give voters a reason to get out and connect with family, friends, and neighbors. All voters are entered into a drawing to win fun prizes from local businesses to thank them for participating.

​

Together, we bring more happiness and joy during the dark days of winter and remind each other that we care. Learn how you can get involved below!
