It ’ s a Beaut! Orange County Tacky Lights Tour 2024 - Now Available for Your Holiday Enjoyment
By: Orange County Communications Department
It ’ s time once again to load the family up in the old front - wheel drive sleigh and journey out to visit some of Orange County ’ s most fantastic light displays! The 2024 tour features 14 homes from Gordonsville to Rhoadesville and beyond. Throw in the breathtaking annual displays of the towns of Gordonsville and Orange, and it will certainly brighten your spirits.
Since 2017, Parks & Recreation has helped coordinate this activity, by allowing households to self - report their home for inclusion. Participants have always received some form of commemorative gift in appreciation of their efforts. Originally, these were “ tacky ” crewneck sweatshirts, but ornaments (like the one pictured) have proven to be more practical over the years. To help this event shine even brighter, this year Parks & Recreation enlisted the help of the GIS team from our information technology department! With their expertise, a new “ experience ”
has been created which places each entry on a virtual map of Orange County, along with details about the style of the entry (i.e. tacky, classy, mixture, etc.), the approximate number of lights, and an optional note from the household. Visit www.orangecountyva.gov/ oclights to see the tour map! For your convenience, we ’ ve also grouped the locations in geographical areas and listed them on the next page. Enjoy!
