A Marine City family has been brightening up their neighborhood for many years. Derek Harper, designer of the home light show, wants to keep people guessing by changing up the designs every year. He told ebw.tv in an interview that it goes beyond just hanging lights, from zip ties to syncing the music, each individual bulb is set to go on and off at certain times. Harper starts his work in September and currently has about 10,000 lights on his home.
Derek Harper’s son, Matthew, has watched his father evolve in the process for many years and next year, it will be his turn to put lights up and design the show. Although Matthew told ebw.tv in the interview that he is nervous about taking on the tradition, his father, Derek, has no doubt that he is going to do a great job.
The show is sure to make you smile and feel the Christmas spirit as many locals have reached out to Derek to thank him or honk their horn as they are passing the beautiful sight. Learn more about when you can watch this twinkling light show in this feature.
