Downtown Festoon Lighting

Artist rendering of what downtown Holdrege could look like when lit up with festoon lighting across West Ave.

Another of our earliest project ideas was to brighten up downtown Holdrege with the installation of Festoon lighting. This will create a more welcoming atmosphere for residents, visitors, and businesses!

The lighting will be installed on West and East Avenues from 5th to 3rd Streets. The Holdrege City Council recently approved our plan, and we have ordered the lighting. If you’d like to support this project, please email our Executive Director to learn more.
