9 houses. 12 acres.
And it keeps getting larger every year! What started out with a couple of Lucy Depp homeowners talking about Christmas lights is now one of the must-see drive-through holiday light shows in Central Ohio.
A labor of love, it takes months to hang the lights and countless hours to program the show. Almost every tree, bush, and display is independently controlled–and most of them down to each light bulb (pixel). We custom mix the music and program the show ourselves, having to tell all 300,000+ channels what to do down to the millisecond. It’s quite a feat to make some lights blink, that much is for sure!
Our 2024 show runs from Black Friday until January 5th, dusk until 10pm Sun-Thurs and until 11 on Friday and Saturday. Because our roads are so narrow and traffic is a concern, we have a loop around the show. There are signs directing traffic, but to find us on Google our “address” is 9360 Frabell Dr, Powell OH 43065.
