The Clay Street Christmas Light Show is back for its third year at 1249 S. Clay St. in Shelby Park and you can see the show every day this week during its extended hours:

  • Monday-Thursday, 6 p.m.-9 p.m.
  • Friday-Saturday, 6 p.m.-12 a.m.
  • Sunday, 6 p.m.-11 p.m.

The free residential light show is synced to traditional (and not-so traditional) holiday music and features 15-20 minutes of moving images and lights across the entire facade of the house and yard. The show was created by Garrett Crabtree Jr., co-founder of Louisville’s Lapis Laser — which is also responsible for Louisville Mega Cavern’s Lights Under Louisville this time of year.

How to see the show:

  • Enter Clay Street from Oak Street and park on the opposite side of the street from the show
  • Tune to 89.9 FM to hear the synced music
  • Donations via Cash App or Venmo (@claystxmas) are accepted and benefit the Kentucky Humane Society
