Join the 2025 Christmas Light Competition
Of course, with so many sparkling displays popping up across Floyd, one question remains: "which one is the best?" There will be multiple rounds of voting for Best Decorated Home on the Floyd County Parks and Rec Facebook page, and one voting round to determine the Best Decorated Business.
As I drive around town, it’s hard not to start to feel the magic of the season settling over Floyd. Glittering glow shines from lighted trees in front windows; porches are slowly coming alive as strings of colorful lights drape over railings and posts, and Red-Nosed Reindeer, blow-up Grinches, and snow-tipped evergreens fill yards.
Some homes display a candy-cane-lined sidewalk to guide visitors toward a doorway wrapped like one giant, festive present. And, who knows, maybe soon we’ll spot Santa’s sleigh perched on a rooftop.
Celebrate the season with adventure! Planning for visiting family or friends? Book a canopy tour for a unique, family-friendly outing—grandkids to grandparents—that they'll talk about long after the visit. Make the holidays memorable with discounted gift cards and an outdoor experience that showcases Floyd's mountain beauty.
Adding to the excitement of the season, the Floyd County Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a Christmas Lights Competition this year, inviting everyone to share the holiday spirit. Whether you’re planning an elaborate light display or simply adding a few classic touches, your home or business can be a part of the fun.
If you’re decorating at all this season, don’t forget to enter into the competition. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spread holiday cheer that the whole community can enjoy. You can enter the competition by emailing your name, voting district/business name, and a photograph of your home or business to recreation@floydcova.gov. Full details can be found here.
