The Munster Education Foundation is holding their third-annual Merry & Bright Holiday Lights Experience from Dec 2-31. The event’s proceeds go to Munster schools, raising money for innovative educational experiences for students of all ages. People around Munster can enter their lit houses into this competition on their website munstereducationfoundation.org. It costs $1 dollar per vote.

The Holiday Lights Fundraiser started in the Fall 2020 when the MEF was searching for special events to hold in the community during the pandemic. They found inspiration in the festive decorations in Crown Point and started a Christmas decorating tradition in Munster as well. The first Holiday Lights event was held in spirit to spread Christmas joy to families who aren’t able to spend the holidays with their relatives.
