Be Dazzled By Holiday Lights In Chester As Festive Competition Begins

CHESTER, NJ — Every town has its own Clark Griswold, who wants to put on the biggest, most extravagant holiday light display possible, and Chester is holding a competition to see who can outshine the others.

The Chester Township Recreation Department is once again hosting a contest called "Chester Holiday Light Tour," in which residents compete for votes on their favorite decorations from the department.

Registration for the light tour is now open and will remain open to all residents until Dec. 14. If you want to show off your decorating skills, registration is now open on community pass and can be found under 2022 Holiday Programs.

For those who are interested in viewing the dazzling lights, the township will provide a map that will help them locate all of the participating homes.

The map will be made available on the official websites of Chester Township and Chester Borough on Dec. 16. The final judging of the participating homes will take place on Dec. 17 and 18, according to officials.
