We had a strong showing of entries this year, with locals putting real time and effort into making their homes stand out. And that’s what this contest is all about: neighbors creating something fun for the whole community to enjoy during the holiday season.

After the votes were counted, one display stood out from the rest.

And the Winner is ...

The winner of Light Up Montrose 2025 is Shelby M., who won $250 from DMEA.

Shelby’s display is packed with bright lights, festive characters, and just the right amount of holiday chaos. From the moment you pull up, it feels cheerful, welcoming, and unmistakably Christmas. It’s the kind of setup that makes kids stop and stare, and adults smile without even realizing it.
