We, along with HexaHive have partnered with the Legacy High School Empower[ED]* students! These talented students have created a Community-Wide Holiday Light Campaign—an initiative designed to bring joy, connection, and festive cheer across Bismarck, Mandan, and Lincoln.

As part of their project, the students are building a holiday lights tour map for the entire community to enjoy throughout the season. This is a wonderful opportunity to support local students, spread holiday spirit, and showcase the creativity in our community.

How You Can Participate

  • Submit your own holiday light display!
    We’d love to include member homes, businesses, and client displays.
  • Share the campaign with your clients and networks.
    The more submissions we receive, the brighter and more magical the community tour will be.
  • Watch for our social media posts.
    Over the next week or so, BMBOR will be sharing updates and promoting this community event—feel free to share or repost to help spread the word.

Submission Deadline

📅 December 12
Please submit your photos and display details by this date to be included on the student-created map.

We’re proud to support the Empower[ED]* students in this initiative and look forward to seeing our community shine—literally!

*Empower[Ed] is a personalized, competency-based education program designed to give high school juniors and seniors control over their learning. We integrate core academic subjects with real-world, community-embedded projects and Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses. Students primarily work independently, demonstrating mastery through projects that align with their passions and career interests. Empower[Ed] fosters learner agency, helping students build critical skills like problem-solving, time management, and collaboration, while crafting personalized learning paths that prepare them for success beyond high school. It’s a flexible, self-directed learning experience aimed at making education more relevant and engaging.
