Holiday Lights

See how Cobb EMC is making this holiday season merry and bright. 

Join us on Tuesday, December 2, from 6 - 8 p.m. in the Solar Flower Garden as we launch Cobb EMC’s award-winning Christmas Light Display. Santa and Wattson will be spreading cheer with cookies and photo ops, and we’ll have festive activities to ring in the season of giving.

Cobb EMC is excited to celebrate the holiday season with our award-winning Holiday Lights program. Every year, we team up with Cobb EMC members who compete for your vote for the best light display. We invite you and your family to experience the joy of the holiday season and the spirit of giving by visiting all of the homes and voting in our holiday lights contest.

Here are the ways to participate in our Holiday Lights program:

  • Download the Holiday Lights map to visit all the participating homes in our service area, including Cobb EMC's headquarters. 
  • Vote for your favorite home on our Facebook page by giving it a "like" from December 1 until midnight on December 26. The top three homes will each receive a $500 donation from Cobb EMC to the nonprofit of their choosing.
  • Visit all the homes and be sure to post your pictures on social media using #CobbEMCLights from now until December 26.  Please note that light show dates and times may vary.
