For over a decade Walden Lake has held their annual Christmas light display contest.
Not only do the homes within each subdivision shine bright for all to see, but the annual contest allows community members to come together and decorate the entrance to their individual subdivisions for the holiday season. A panel of anonymous and non-affiliated judges then take their tour around the neighborhoods, making notes and marking down scores for their favorite entrances to ultimately decide which subdivisions did enough to rise above the rest.
In past years the contest was judged in two separate categories, traditional and illumination, with each category elevating a first, second and third place winner, along with two honorable mentions, while one subdivision was awarded the grand prize. For the second consecutive year, however, there were no categories, awarding one grand prize winner per usual, along with first, second, third, fourth and fifth place overall followed by two honorable mentions.
The winners of the 2021 Walden Lake Decorating Contest are as follows:
Grand Prize: Emerald Forest
1st Place: Aston Woods
2nd Place: Hampton Place
3rd Place: Fairway Estates
4th Place: Silverstone
5th Place: Polo Place
Honorable Mention: Wedgewood, Paddocks
