Founded by Marie Austin, of Connecticut in 2020 (during the pandemic that left so many of us isolated), the Light The Night initiative works by turning the simple act of decorating with holiday lights into a beacon of community spirit and support. The initiative partners with local businesses and charities, amplifying the impact of each twinkling bulb by driving local commerce and supporting families in need. Light The Night’s interactive website and nation-wide map guide spectators through a winter wonderland of lights, encouraging community engagement and small donations to sustain and expand this luminous tradition. As the initiative grows, it continues to spread not just light, but hope, joy, and the spirit of giving, illuminating the path for community-driven celebrations across the country.
