The Mooresville Christmas Light Tour is all volunteer-led, and we're all about spreading Christmas cheer. From delighting children and adults alike with beautifully lit homes in our community, to financially supporting local nonprofits, we are bringing joy and hope to Mooresville, Indiana.
The Mooresville Christmas Light Tour is a free community event from Dec. 1 to 31, 2023. Residents and businesses across the town of Mooresville, Indiana, decorate with twinkling Christmas lights and outdoor decorations.
On December 1, the tour map will be available. New in 2023, we will only be using a Google map available here on our website, which will also allow us to include photos and a brief description of each Tour Stop. No printed or PDF maps will be available this year.
We invite everyone to check the map, pack up your family and drive around our town to view stops on our tour. (Please drive-by only and don't park in driveways or block the tour homes and businesses.) Stops will be lit nightly at dark until 10 p.m., so you can enjoy the lights at your leisure on any night you choose!
The event is free, and new this year, voting will be by popular vote only, with a Google form here on our website beginning Dec. 1. We will not be using the text-to-vote donation system this year.
In 2023, our charity will be Churches in Mission. Churches in Mission serves thousands of local residents each year, providing food, clothing, household necessities, financial assistance and education. With the increasing cost of living, Churches in Mission has seen a 150% increase in food needs. We hope to raise funds to help with these increased needs this winter.
We hold a fund at the Community Foundation of Morgan County, a local nonprofit, to be transparent with our event expenses and track donations. Since we are not having text voting this year, we will encourage those who wish to help us raise funds for our friends and neighbors at Churches in Mission to donate to our fund.
History of our event
The Mooresville Christmas Light Tour began in 2019 when local resident Suni Johnson wanted to bring Christmas spirit to the town. She organized volunteers to recruit residents to decorate their homes, sponsor the event and build the map. With sponsorships and donations from the public, over $2,500 was raised to benefit local charities. In 2020, over $5,000 was raised and after event expenses, $1,500 each was donated to Churches in Mission, Boys and Girls Club of Morgan County and Peace Restored. In 2022, we donated $4,200 total to the 6 Parent Teacher Organizations at Mooresville Consolidated School Corporation elementary schools (Newby, Neil Armstrong, Northwood, North Madison, and Waverly) and Parent Teach Fellowship at Mooresville Christian Academy. We hope to donate more to charity each year.
