The project

The Elkader Holiday Light Show fills City Park with displays from local businesses every year, from Thanksgiving weekend to New Year's. In 2026 there were 50 of them, and people needed an easy way to find out whose display they were looking at.

So I turned the show map into one you can use. Tap a bulb or pick a name from the list, and that bulb glows softly while a card opens with the business's logo and links. Every road, tree and sign is redrawn so it stays sharp on any screen, whether you're planning your visit at home or checking your phone in the car.

The map lives on the City's website and updates from one place, so when a business joins or drops out, the map follows. I designed it and sponsored it as my gift to the show.
