A Window into the Holiday Spirit: Nation’s Only Residential Advent Project

Each night in December, a different resident of Historic Downtown Lancaster reveals a new illuminated window display, creating a walkable advent calendar throughout the neighborhood. By Christmas, 24 homes — along with special displays from local non-profits for Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa — will light up the season with festive creativity and community spirit.
