Residents and businesses are invited to shine bright this season as the annual Light up North Bend holiday lighting contest returns.
Every year, local homes and businesses deck their places out for the community to admire! Light Up North Bend brings homes, businesses, and nonprofit organizations together for a bit of healthy competition.
Following the competition, enjoy a Light Up North Bend Holiday Tour Map, where all participants’ displays will be mapped out for all to tour.
If you plan to light up your home, property or storefront this winter, please consider joining the annual lighting contest: LIGHT UP NORTH BEND – A COMMUNITY CONTEST.

The Neighborhood Division winner will be chosen based on the largest number of homes decked out for the season.
