Download the 2026 fact sheetIn 2020, when so much was closed, our family wanted to give the community a little Christmas joy they could enjoy from their cars. We had no idea what it would become.
As the home display grew, traffic concerns nearly brought the tradition to an end. In 2023, the City of Rexburg's Cultural Arts department helped give it a new future at the Rexburg Tabernacle. The partnership continued at Porter Park in 2024, then at Rexburg Rapids in 2025.
Today, the show is primarily funded by our family, with essential support from the City of Rexburg and generous help from family, friends, Real Estate Two70 and volunteers. Our purpose remains the same: something fun, magical and free for our community.
