Spruce Ridge Christmas Lights

Spruce Ridge Christmas Lights Our light display features 18 RGB props and over 50,000 lights that make Christmas music come to life!

Permanently closed.

Tune to FM 90.7 and listen to the show in stereo in the comfort of your warm vehicle! We love holidays, decorating and especially holiday lights! A few years ago we discovered Light-O-Rama, a company which makes controllers and computer programs that can make our lights dance to music! We are excited for everyone who takes a couple minutes to stop by and enjoy the excitement of watching AND listen

ing to our holiday light show. Please stop by when you have time to enjoy one of our passions with us!

It is with deep sadness that because of family illness we have to announce the permanent closing of Spruce Ridge Christmas Lights. Sixteen years ago we started with images of dancing Christmas lights we saw on a Youtube video and said to ourselves “we should do that in our front yards!” and the rest is history! In 2014 we moved our personal display closer to the road and invited people to come and enjoy our light display with us.

Over the next 10 years hundreds (dare I say thousands?) of people parked in front of our house to enjoy our dancing Christmas lights. The sight of people sitting, enjoying the lights and the sound of young people giggling, singing and laughing to the music and lights has filled our hearts with joy over the years. Also the many kind comments over the years has warmed our souls. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy our show over the years. You have brought us untold joys and for that we will be eternally grateful!

In closing, I would like to point you to some friends, the Wolfs, a family who has a deep passion for dancing lights! Over the upcoming years they will be integrating some of our props into their light shows. Please check out their FB page at Wolfs’ Family Lights located near Oxford, Iowa. You can find them on Facebook by searching Wolfs’ Family Lights. Please take some time this holiday season to check them out! Also please like and follow their FB page here:
