HOW IT ALL STARTED
HOW IT ALL STARTED
What started as a love for Christmas lights in 2016 has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined.
Over the years, the display has continued to grow—with more lights, decorations, characters, and experiences—but the heart of it has stayed the same: bringing people together and sharing a little Christmas magic.
In 2026, we're celebrating 10 years of Christmas magic. We're excited to welcome families back for our biggest anniversary season yet and continue growing the tradition for years to come.
10 YEARS. ONE BIG CHRISTMAS TRADITION.

Hi, I'm Gavin!
I'm the person behind the West Chester Christmas Light Display. What started as a love for Christmas lights has grown into a 10-year tradition that I'm incredibly proud to share with our community.
Every year brings new ideas, new decorations, and new challenges—but seeing families experience the display makes all of the work worth it.
“For me, Christmas has always been about creating memories and bringing people together.”
OUR JOURNEY
LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME
Ten years means countless hours of decorating, thousands of lights, new ideas, unexpected challenges, and so many memories.
And we're just getting started.
