Light up more homes in Mercer Village

Mercer Village will be extra festive starting this week. The annual Light More Homes exhibit, which benefits Macon Area Habitat for Humanity, will be unveiled during a program at 5:30 p.m. on November 17. The winners of the student programming contest, in which local students synchronized lights with different holiday songs, will be announced at the event.

With a canopy of icicles displayed above the streets, a lighted pedestrian arch, snowmobiles, tall light-up Christmas trees, and more, you’re bound to have a great time enjoying this light show. The display will feature two multi-colored computer-controlled trees synchronized to the music as well as an interactive “mega tree” courtesy of the Mercer IT Department.

Additionally, Candy Cane Lane will span Mercer’s Stadium Drive this year and feature 180 trees wrapped in red and white lights.

Finally, students, faculty, staff and their families are invited to a winter wonderland event with winter and holiday-themed activities at Mercer Village from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on December 8.

The Light More Homes exhibit at Mercer Village will run nightly from 6-10 p.m. until January 7.
