Talk to show participants and casting agentsChristmas Expo Holiday Lighting & Decorating Conference is three days of shopping, decorating ideas and education to help light your way to your best outdoor holiday display! The Conference is held once a year on the 3rd weekend in July and changes location each year. At Christmas Expo, you can network with other holiday decorators, shop for products that you seldom find in stores, take classes to learn how to get started or how to improve your display. Christmas Expo is the best way to meet with and learn from creative DIY’ers, resourceful professionals and industry experts that you simply won’t find anywhere else. You can also chat with participants from ABC’s The Great Christmas Light Fight and meet with casting agents for the show!
