Riverside Glow — Northern Berks Shines Bright for the Holidays

Leesport is a borough defined by water, tradition, and the kind of tight-knit community spirit that makes northern Berks County a special place to call home. Nestled along the Schuylkill River with Blue Marsh Lake just a short drive away, this small community enjoys a setting that is naturally beautiful in every season and becomes truly magical when the holidays arrive. Penn Holiday Lights is proud to serve Leesport and its surrounding neighborhoods, delivering professional lighting installations that honor the borough's riverside character and bring seasonal warmth to every block. The Leesport Farmers Market is perhaps the borough's most beloved institution, a weekly gathering that has drawn shoppers from across the region for generations with its produce stands, flea market vendors, and community atmosphere that feels like a step back in time. The Schuylkill River flows along the borough's edge, its waters reflecting the surrounding landscape and providing a scenic backdrop for the homes that line nearby streets. Blue Marsh Lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just a few miles away, offers year-round recreation including fishing, hiking, and boating that makes the Leesport area a destination for outdoor enthusiasts throughout Berks County. Leesport Borough Park provides local families with space for recreation and community events, while the Route 61 corridor connects the borough to Reading to the south and Hamburg to the north. The homes of Leesport reflect its heritage as a working river borough. Traditional single-family residences with classic porches and gabled rooflines anchor the older residential blocks, their solid construction and simple elegance looking beautiful when traced in warm holiday lighting. Row houses along the borough's denser streets create a continuous streetscape that transforms into a stunning unified display when neighbors join together in holiday decorating. Modest ranches, updated Cape Cods, and comfortable mid-century homes round out the housing stock in the surrounding Ontelaunee Township area, where slightly larger lots allow for expanded installations including wrapped trees, pathway lighting, and illuminated landscape features. Neighboring communities such as Hamburg, Fleetwood, and Bernville participate in the northern Berks County holiday tradition, and Leesport homeowners consistently tell us that a professionally installed display elevates the entire street's seasonal atmosphere. Penn Holiday Lights takes care of every detail from initial consultation through expert installation and careful post-season removal.
