🎄 LIGHT UP CARLISLE 🎄

Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: Downtown Carlisle
Dear Carlisle Chamber Members & Local Businesses,
We’re excited to invite you to help make Light Up Carlisle 2025 a truly magical celebration! This year, we’re moving the entire event downtown, and we want every business, organization, and resident to be a part of the fun.
✨ Let’s Light Up the Town!
To bring downtown to life, we’re asking all Carlisle businesses to decorate their buildings with lights across the top.
• White lights are preferred, but you may choose any color or design
• Lights will be installed across the top of each building façade
• Installation support is being coordinated—just confirm you're participating
• Lights are available at Carlisle Hardware for an affordable price
