2011 Guernsey County Courthouse Holiday Lights and Music Show

When the switch was thrown on this year’s Guernsey County Courthouse holiday lights and music show, onlookers are witnessing seasonal illumination amplified to a new scale never before seen in the local area.

The historic centerpiece of Downtown Cambridge comes alive with literally tens of thousands of colorful lights, synchronized to both traditional and contemporary holiday musical favorites.

The Courthouse lends its magnificent 1881 design to a intricately-choreographed 21st Century eye fest consisting of more than 32,000 lights, 15,000 of which will outline the structure’s unique architectural details. Fifty-Eight animated displays and a 23 Foot Mega-Christmas Tree with 2,600 plus lights and a pine Christmas tree with a 3-D star complete the holiday spectacle.

The Guernsey County Commissioners, the Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors and Convention Bureau, the Cambridge Main Street Program, the Dickens Victorian Village and AVC Communications have expressed their pride in this extraordinary enhancement of what has become a local tradition.


More Music Every Hour for the 2011 Christmas Season!

AVC designed the display, creating four different shows that will play throughout the holiday season. Each presentation makes use of more than 436 electrical circuits, each computer controlled in fifth-of-a-second increments and painstakingly synchronized to a holiday soundtrack. This year there will also be more new & contemporary music, including kids favorites and  spectacular new display's on the front of the courthouse.

Each hour features a wide variety of music. The show features children's Christmas favorites, one song actually sung by Cambridge area 5th graders! A show featuring contemporary Christmas favorites, a traditional/contemporary Christmas music show featuring the well known local saxophonist Gordon Hough is followed by the ever popular modern Christmas music show. This show is considered the crowd favorite. All shows include a 23 Foot Mega-Christmas Tree with 2,600 plus lights and updated presentations from years past and new music for 2011. Each hour will have 56 minutes of music & lights!  

 

The 2011 season has already started and continues each evening from 5:30pm until 9pm through January 8th, 2011. SPECIAL NOTE: November 24th, 25th, 26th, December 24th, 25th and again December 31st and January 1st, the show will continue until 11pm.In between these “performances”, the Courthouse will return to the simple elegance of having its unique design outlined from top to bottom in continuous, white lights.

Nearly a thousand man hours were needed to design the display; install the lights and electrical systems; and coordinate the lights to the music.

Cambridge and Guernsey County invite you to come and enjoy the Dickens Victorian Village and the charm of this 19th century landmark, complimented by this dramatic display of state-of-the-art lighting technology.

The Guernsey County Courthouse Holiday Light Show is a gift to the community from local resident, Grant Hafley, and is a joint effort of AVC Communications, the Guernsey County Commissioners, the Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors and Convention Bureau, the Cambridge Main Street Program and the Dickens Victorian Village.
