Lighting Up Downtown: Macon’s Holiday Transformation

November 25, 2025

Published by eadams

This week on the Macon It podcast, we sit down with Bryan Nichols, the creative force behind the Macon Christmas Light Extravaganza. What started as a simple idea, has quickly become a must-see experience for families across the region.

In this episode, Bryan shares the story of how the extravagant light display first began, from a simple idea fueled by holiday spirit to a full-scale production that now draws visitors from near and far. He pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to bring the display to life each year — from months of planning and design to the thousands of lights, synchronized music, and behind-the-scenes work that make the show so unforgettable.

Listeners will also hear why the Macon Christmas Light Extravaganza stands out from typical holiday light displays. Bryan talks about the heart behind the project, his passion for creating memorable experiences for families, and the joy of seeing the community come together during the holiday season.

It’s a conversation full of inspiration, creativity, and Christmas cheer. Click here to listen.
