With the holidays right around the corner, folks looking to get into the Christmas spirit can partake in a local holiday lights contest.
The Bristol holiday lighting contest is back for its fifth year, offering residents a chance to vote on their favorite local displays.
Residents who participate also have a chance to win gift cards from local businesses.
The event came about as a way to spread holiday cheer, offering a low maintenance way for families to enjoy the holidays.
