NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams Chamber (NAC) of Commerce announces the beginning of community voting on the best holiday lights and window displays created by businesses throughout the city.

 

As part of the LumiNAMA holiday lights initiative running now through Jan. 1, any North Adams resident can vote for their favorite holiday lights display at nachamber.org/luminama or by scanning the QR code on any LumiNAMA poster posted by local businesses.  

 

Businesses were asked to register their holiday lights and/or window displays by Nov. 18 to be considered for an award. Those who registered are being considered for the following awards: Brightest Lights, Best Window Display, and Best Art Installation. 

 

Community voting began on Nov. 23 – the night of the City's tree lighting – and ends on Dec. 14. Winners will be announced on Dec. 16. 

 

A special Downtown Holiday Lights route will run along Marshall, Holden, Main, and Eagle Streets, and Center Street between Big Y and behind 85 Main Street. View a full map of holiday lights displays at nachamber.org/luminama
