Christmas Expo
Holiday Lighting & Decorating Conference
We are the original Christmas Decorating Expo!
Three days of shopping, decorating ideas, and non-stop education to help light your way to your best outdoor holiday display. Network with other holiday decorators, shop for products that you seldom find in stores, and take classes to learn how to improve your display. Just getting started with decorating? We have classes just for you! Christmas Expo is the best way to learn from creative DIY’ers, resourceful professionals, and industry experts that you simply won’t find anywhere else.
Visit the Expo to chat with participants and winners from ABC’s The Great Christmas Light Fight in our Great Christmas Light Fight Discussion Panel, then meet on site with Producers and the Casting Director of the show.
Christmas Expo focuses on inspiring creativity and teaching the skills to help develop a beautiful display that brings smiles to visitor’s faces.

What our attendees and vendors are saying
“Your conference was so valuable for gathering new ideas, learning new technology and purchasing thousands of dollars worth of new products to ‘wow’ our visitors. Expo is now an annual trip for us and we are thankful to you for organizing this unique event.”
John W.
“Honestly, the attendees at this show are a pleasure to work with. Everyone is engaged, intelligent and interested in the subject matter and how they can apply it for their own displays.”
Adam Raugh, X-Laser
“As an absolute newbie, I learned so much in the LOR Immersion class that I was able to go home after the Expo and immediately start creating my display for this year. I had a lot of fun and my head was spinning with ideas by the time I left. Thanks for a great event!”
Philip C.
“Being a vendor at Christmas Expo this year resulted in a significant profit! It was a well-run event and I really enjoyed working with you. Thank you for all that you do for the Christmas community.”
Rob H.
“The Expo was a lot of fun and very informative. I gained a lot of industry knowledge that I can use in my light show. Thanks for continuing to help build the Christmas community – It was a lot of fun to be around so many other crazy Christmas people!”
Jeff T.
“We do several trade shows each year and although we usually only do very large trade shows, Christmas Expo has produced the greatest return relative to investment for any show that we’ve done.”
