Though the owners of a beloved holiday home have retired,
There are plenty aglow this year to keep us inspired.
The town has said thank you and bid farewell
to Parkside Christmas and its light show so swell.
But worry not, Lawrence — our news team has driven
Around in the cold, and here’s what they’ve given.
We hope you enjoy all the sights on this tour,
and may the magic of twinkling lights endure.
This map is dotted with red and green John Browns. Those are the locations that our news team members have added or confirmed for 2025, or that community members have submitted this year.
