Municipal and downtown Christmas decorations in Dallas–Fort Worth
Main Street Christmas Lights supplies and installs streetscape Christmas decorations for municipalities, downtown districts and shopping centers across Dallas–Fort Worth: pole mounted snowflakes, stars and wreaths, gateway displays and display trees. We survey the poles, design the program, install it, service it, remove it and store it.
Scope
What a streetscape program covers
Lighting one building makes one building look good. A streetscape program is what makes a district read as a destination people drive to rather than through.
- Pole mounted snowflakes, stars, wreaths, cascades and bows on street and parking lot poles
- Brackets, hardware and electrical connection at each pole
- Silhouette and 3D illuminated pieces at gateway and ceremony locations
- Display trees for the square, plaza or park at the center of the district
- Garland, wreaths and bows on lamp posts, monuments and public buildings
- A bracket and design standard that lets the program expand in later seasons
Supply and install
A catalog ships you boxes. We run the program.
Most companies selling municipal decorations are manufacturers. The decorations arrive at your public works yard and everything after that is yours to solve.
- Site survey of the poles, the power and the sightlines
- Design and a written program, priced before anything is ordered
- Supply of the decorations, brackets and hardware
- Installation by crews trained for work at height
- In-season service response through December
- Scheduled January removal
- Off-season storage and inventory in our warehouse
Process
How a district program comes together
Survey
We walk the district, count the poles, check the power at each one and look at where people actually gather.
Program design
A written program showing which pieces go where, what the bracket standard is, and what the whole thing costs. Designed so later blocks can be added without redesigning.
Approval and order
Public budgets move on their own cycle, and larger pieces are made to order and ship freight. The calendar matters more than the budget on this work.
Installation
Installed to a date the district can publish, usually ahead of a ceremony or a lighting night.
Season and removal
We respond through December, then remove everything on a scheduled January date and store it inventoried for next year.
Who this is for
Districts, not single buildings

Municipal lighting
Streetscapes and public spaces
Pairs well with
The rest of the property
Most commercial properties combine two or three of these. Designing them together keeps the whole site reading as one plan.
Questions from districts and municipalities
What are pole mounted Christmas decorations?
Lit decorations that bracket onto existing street, parking lot or plaza poles: snowflakes, stars, wreaths, cascades and bows. They are the standard way a district lights a whole street rather than a single building, because the poles are already there and already have power.
Who supplies and who installs a municipal streetscape program?
We do both. That is the difference between us and a catalog supplier: a supplier ships the decorations to your public works yard and the installation, the brackets, the electrical connection, the January removal and the storage all remain your problem. We handle the whole program.
Do the decorations need power at every pole?
Most pole mounted decorations are lit, so each pole needs a supply. Many municipal poles already have a receptacle for banners or seasonal use, and the same poles can carry <a href="/commercial-pole-banners/">printed banners</a> through the rest of the year. Where they do not, that is part of the survey and is priced before anything is ordered.
Where are the decorations stored between seasons?
In our warehouse, inventoried and ready for the next season. A streetscape program is dozens of pieces plus brackets and hardware, and storing that in a city yard is how programs lose pieces year over year.
How far ahead does a municipality need to plan?
Earlier than a private property. Public budgets are approved on their own cycle, larger pieces are made to order and ship freight, and a district usually wants everything lit for a specific ceremony date. Spring and summer is not too early to start the conversation.
Can a program be expanded over several years?
Yes, and that is usually the sensible way to do it. A district can start with the main street and add blocks in later seasons, provided the design and the bracket standard are chosen with expansion in mind from the beginning.
Do you work with shopping centers as well as cities?
Yes. A retail center with parking lot poles and a pedestrian spine has the same problem a downtown block does, and the same solution works: pole mounted pieces carrying light across the whole site rather than only on the buildings.
Start the conversation for this season
We walk the district, count the poles, and come back with a program and a number. Municipal timelines run early, so earlier is better.
