The Hoover Family Lights Up The Season with Their Free & Festive 80,000 Light Display

Since 2005, when 16-year-old Chad Hoover created a display in Franklin with just under 10,000 computerized Christmas lights, the Hoover family has kept up the tradition through the years. After relocating to Chapel Hill, TN in 2019, the display now offers an impressive spread of 80,000 lights. Visitors may park on the side of the road, tune to 87.9FM, and enjoy an exciting 20 minute performance of lights dancing to music.

How much does it cost?

The show is absolutely free! This is our way of spreading Christmas cheer. We would like to encourage you to donate to your favorite charity.

What’s the radio station?

Tune your radio to 87.9 FM. The lights are sychronized to music!

What happens in case of rain?

Unfortunately electricity and water do not get along! Despite our best efforts to waterproof, heavy rain may cause parts of the show to stop working. Be sure to like our Facebook page for the latest information!

How long does the season run?

Opening night is the Friday after Thanksgiving. The final show of the season will be on New Year’s Eve.

Helping Local Families One Can (or Contribution) at a Time

This year, we’re inviting everyone who visits the display to help support our local food pantry and families right here in our community.

Whether you bring a canned good, drop off non-perishable items, or use the Venmo QR code to help us purchase items, every single contribution makes a meaningful impact. Your generosity helps fill pantry shelves, stock family kitchens, and bring comfort to neighbors who need it most.

How You Can Help

  • Bring canned goods & non-perishables to the donation stand at the front of the display

  • Scan the Venmo QR code to contribute toward purchasing pantry staples. Venmo: @HooverLights

  • Share the word — the more people who know, the more families we can support

Every Donation Stays Local

100% of all food and monetary contributions go directly to helping families in our area. Together, we can make this season brighter, warmer, and a little easier for those who need it.

Thank you for being part of the light, kindness, and community that make Hoover Lights so special.
