Marietta's Light up the Holidays

An interactive journey highlighting and celebrating the magic of holiday lights.

The city of Marietta would like to welcome you to the "Marietta's Light Up The Holidays" interactive Story Map. We want to give our community the opportunity to share their amazing light displays with others; highlighting the places, homes, and people that put in the amazing effort to bring cheer and joy to all who visit and witness the magic of holiday lights. Citizens, and visitors alike, can then use this as an aide to plan out a driving tour of all the amazingly decorated homes in our city or just for bragging rights in the neighborhood.


We need the help of the community in building our map by submitting your own holiday light display. Do you have a home or place of business with a holiday light display that you would like to share? Spread some holiday spirit throughout our city and submit your location to be placed on an interactive map which will help others in the community be able to find and enjoy the best lighting displays and appreciate the effort you put into creating holiday magic.
