Where Scholars and Soldiers Come Home to a Season of Light
Carlisle's Trusted Holiday Lighting Professionals
Carlisle is a distinguished college town and the county seat of Cumberland County, home to Dickinson College and the U.S. Army War College. The borough's historic downtown — centered around the landmark Carlisle Courthouse and the lively Hanover Street corridor — features impressive Georgian, Federal, and Victorian architecture that speaks to the town's colonial heritage. The residential neighborhoods radiating from the town center showcase stately brick colonials, grand Queen Anne Victorians, and charming stone houses, many dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. The prestigious Mooreland neighborhood and the tree-lined streets near Dickinson's campus are particularly stunning during the holidays. Carlisle is also famous for its car show culture and the Carlisle Fairgrounds events. Our holiday lighting installations respect Carlisle's refined, academic atmosphere while creating displays that match the community's high aesthetic standards. From Dickinson College's historic limestone buildings to the grand homes along South Hanover Street, we transform Carlisle properties into elegant seasonal showcases.
Carlisle is Cumberland County's distinguished seat of government and learning, a borough where the gravitas of Dickinson College and the U.S. Army War College meets the warmth of tree-lined residential streets that have welcomed families for more than two centuries. When the holiday season arrives, Penn Holiday Lights transforms this storied college town into one of Central Pennsylvania's most elegant seasonal showcases. The borough's architectural heritage tells a remarkable story. Georgian and Federal brick residences dating to the late 1700s stand alongside grand Queen Anne Victorians, charming stone cottages, and stately homes that once housed faculty and military officers. In the prestigious Mooreland neighborhood, sweeping lawns and mature hardwoods frame properties that look breathtaking under the glow of professionally designed roofline lighting and illuminated garland. Along South Hanover Street, the grandeur of the homes practically demands holiday displays that match their scale and sophistication. Dickinson College's historic limestone buildings and manicured campus anchor the heart of town, and the streets radiating outward — past Bosler Memorial Library and the landmark Carlisle Courthouse — offer an extraordinary variety of properties for custom lighting installations. Whether your home is a meticulously restored Federal-era townhome near the square or a spacious colonial in one of the neighborhoods north of town, our team designs installations that honor the character of the architecture while creating unforgettable curb appeal. Carlisle is also famous for its car show culture at the Carlisle Fairgrounds and for a downtown that buzzes with independent shops, restaurants, and galleries. That same civic pride carries through December, when residents and business owners alike embrace the holiday season with enthusiasm. Nearby communities like Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, and Boiling Springs share in the festive spirit, and many of our Carlisle clients find that neighbors quickly request their own installations after seeing the results. Penn Holiday Lights brings commercial-grade LED materials, expert craftsmanship, and a deep respect for historic architecture to every project. From dramatic whole-house outlining to subtle accent lighting on period details, we handle every element so you can simply enjoy the season.
