From the Pagoda to Your Porch, Let Reading Glow This Season
Reading's Trusted Holiday Lighting Professionals
Reading is the vibrant county seat of Berks County, a city with a rich industrial legacy, diverse cultural fabric, and stunning topography — famously home to the Reading Pagoda perched atop Mount Penn. The city's neighborhoods are remarkably varied: the grand Victorian mansions and Tudor estates of Wyomissing Hills and Centre Park, the handsome brick row homes that line the streets of the West End and South Side, and the tree-lined avenues of Upper Reading near the Pagoda. Reading's industrial wealth built an exceptional housing stock, from ornate Queen Anne homes with wraparound porches to substantial Colonial Revival residences and sturdy craftsman bungalows. The GoggleWorks Center for the Arts anchors a revitalized downtown, while Penn Street serves as the city's commercial spine. During the holidays, Reading's varied architecture provides endless possibilities for creative holiday lighting. Our installations honor the city's architectural diversity and dramatic hillside setting, creating displays that range from intimate row-home porch lighting to grand estate illuminations visible from across the valley.
Reading, the proud county seat of Berks County, is a city unlike any other in southeastern Pennsylvania. Built on dramatic hillside terrain and crowned by the iconic Reading Pagoda perched high atop Mount Penn, this diverse and culturally rich city offers an extraordinary canvas for professional holiday lighting. Penn Holiday Lights is honored to serve homeowners and businesses throughout Reading, bringing festive brilliance to a community that has been shaping the region's identity for over two centuries. The neighborhoods of Reading are remarkably varied, each with its own architectural personality. In Centre Park, grand Victorian mansions with wraparound porches, ornate millwork, and towering turrets line wide, stately boulevards that practically beg for holiday illumination. The West End and South Side are defined by handsome brick row homes with uniform rooflines and classic stoops, creating opportunities for coordinated block-wide lighting displays that turn entire streets into glowing corridors of festive cheer. Upper Reading, near the Pagoda itself, features substantial Colonial Revival residences and sturdy Craftsman bungalows set against the mountainside, where lit homes become beacons visible across the valley below. The GoggleWorks Center for the Arts anchors a revitalized downtown that pulses with creative energy, while Penn Street, the city's historic commercial spine, connects Reading's diverse districts from the bustling FirstEnergy Stadium area to the stately Reading Public Museum. Tudor estates tucked into the hillsides of Hampden Heights add yet another layer of architectural richness. Reading's dramatic topography gives holiday lighting here a unique advantage. Homes perched on Mount Penn and along the surrounding ridgelines create displays that can be admired from miles away, turning private installations into public spectacles that contribute to the city's seasonal magic. Whether you own a row home on a quiet South Side street or a sprawling Victorian in Centre Park, our team designs custom installations that honor your property's character. Nearby communities like Wyomissing, West Reading, and Shillington share in Reading's holiday spirit, and many of our clients find that one beautifully lit home inspires an entire neighborhood to join in the celebration.
