It’s time to bring the holiday spirit to Hopewell! We are requesting applications for the Holiday Tour of Lights. Help us create a magical season of festive lights and holiday cheer. This event is designed to bring joy and delight to our community during the holiday season, showcasing the creativity and spirit of our residents.


The Holiday Tour of Lights is a self-guided tour that allows participants to explore the neighborhood and admire the beautifully decorated houses.
