The holiday season would not be complete without gazing on decorated homes full of twinkling lights and Christmas spirit. The City of Westfield has made the process of driving around to check out all the neighborhood lights simple through its Website, www.westfield.in.gov.
Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones said the light bulb icons on the map share the addresses of decorated sites within the city. Red light bulbs indicate houses and green bulbs show businesses. The public can create their own course with locations or print their own maps by visiting the Website. The Holiday Lights Tour map also is available as a mobile option for those that prefer to take the map on the road by using their smartphone or tablet.
Officials said the map will continue to change as more locations are entered.
“We want people to participate,” said Brittany Goger, Westfield Parks’ administrative assistant. “It’s a cool opportunity for people that have taken time to decorate their homes to show them off. The public can easily locate it.”
All levels and types of decor are welcome on the tour. To include a location on the map, Groger said the process is as easy as filling out a form online at
www.formstack.com/forms/?1613128-X3m1s7ZUZd.
“It pinpoints locations for residents or businesses. It’s pretty simple,” she said.
This is the fourth year for the holiday lights tour map.
“It is not a competition, it’s a self guided tour around the city,” Jones said. “It’s a fun, fun activity. Families can do it right after dinner – cruise around Westfield and enjoy the holiday lights.”
Jones said the online map will stay up until the first week of January.
