Downtown Holiday Decorating Contest

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 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 Holiday Decorating Contest is kicking off this November in Downtown Louisville! Businesses and properties are encouraged to stay decorated through the winter holidays with contest winners announced on December 16.

Businesses and/or property owners have the option to register under one of two categories: small businesses and full building façades. For each category, a winner will be selected for first, second, and third place. There will also be a “City Choice” winner where Downtown residents, employees, and guests will be able to vote on their favorite holiday decorations which will be released on Louisville Downtown Partnership’s Facebook page.
