Located on Robert H. Harp Drive at the Livingston Oval, the free display is set up and maintained by the volunteer Camuso Holiday Display Committee, otherwise known as the “Camuso elves.”

The display will open with a lighting ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 6. The Livingston Starliners Dance Team will open the event at 6:30 p.m., and lights will go on at 7 p.m.

Weather permitting, the exhibit will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. on weekdays. It will be open from 5 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The final day it will be open this season is Jan. 1, 2026.
