Join us in Holiday Spirit by Decorating and Lighting up your Business or Property This Season!
Louisville Downtown Partnership invites Downtown businesses and property owners each year to decorate their buildings, façades, and/or store windows with colorful lights, scenery, and a variety of decorative elements. While celebrating the season and our community, let’s capitalize on the unique assets of our commercial district!
The 2025 Downtown Holiday Decorating Contest has completed! For each category, a winner was selected for first, second, and third place. There is also a “City Choice” winner where Downtown residents, employees, and guests voted on their favorite holiday decorations on Louisville Downtown Partnership’s Facebook page.
