The program was birthed from a Macon Habitat board member’s desire to bring smiles to children and adults at Christmas while reminding all of the light of the world. It began as a residential yard display with music broadcast via FM transmitter. Later the program moved indoors and included the Live Out Loud children's choir singing to the music and lights. In 2008, the event was dramatically enlarged and moved to its current home at Chick-fil-A Riverside Parkway.

Chuck Hammock, a longtime friend of Macon Area Habitat for Humanity and partner of Andrews, Hammock, & Powell Consulting Engineers, uses his technical wizardry to create the show each year. To learn about Chuck's inspiration and personal journey, read the attached article from The Telegraph, Macon's local newspaper.

Today, the 45,000 lights, decorations, and music create a dazzling display that celebrates the glory of the season and brings JOY to those who witness it. The display happens nightly between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. The entire community is invited to watch and enjoy. Donations to Macon Area Habitat for Humanity inside Chick-fil-A restaurant are welcome.
