Dear Minnesotan:
![]() This is a friendly reminder that the state-wide ban on holiday light displays does go into affect on Friday, January 14th.
Our legislature, in conjunction with local and federal officials, proposed and passed this ordinance to conserve energy in both the public and private sectors. Unnecessary holiday light displays account for $22 million in wasted electricity annually.
While holiday lights are a wonderful way to spread joy and celebrate the season, we must ask that you cease lighting your displays by Friday, January 14. Random community checks have been authorized and scheduled. Business and residential holiday light displays will be fined on a per bulb basis, calculated by current electrical usage and average power bill factorization tables.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ron Johnson
Director
Department of Natural Resources Conservancy
