Get ready to celebrate in a big way as we light up Wrightsville for America’s 250th Birthday!
The “Light Up the Town” Decorating Contest invites residents and businesses to show off their patriotic spirit by decorating their homes, storefronts, and properties in red, white, and blue.
From creative lighting displays to full-scale patriotic transformations, this is your chance to be part of a town-wide celebration that brings the community together and showcases local pride.

Participants are encouraged to go all out—use lights, flags, inflatables, banners, and anything that celebrates Independence Day and America’s 250th Birthday! Whether you keep it simple or create a show-stopping display, every entry helps make our town shine brighter.
Ready to Participate?
Join your neighbors in making Wrightsville glow with patriotic pride. Decorate, celebrate, and you could be recognized as one of this year’s winners!
The 1st Place Winner of the Light Up the Town Decorating Contest will receive a special prize package including a gift certificate, an official winner’s yard sign recognizing their patriotic display, and — of course — full bragging rights until next year’s competition!
Additional contest details, judging information, and prize announcements will be released on June 15th, with winner(s) officially announced on July 4th during the Wrightsville 4th of July Celebration.
