The countdown is on! 🎄✨

The Mandan Holiday Lights on Main opens in just one month, and we have ONLY TWO signature displays remaining for sponsorship.

This beloved, entirely free event brings over 55,000 attendees together for 45 magical nights, and it is only made possible through local generosity. We are currently looking to secure Multi-Year Signature Partnerships for our final two available features: the Interactive Christmas Wall and the O' Christmas Tree.

This is a premium opportunity for exceptional brand exposure, strategic marketing reach, and deep community connection. Along with premium advertising benefits like a 1/2 page ad in the Mandan Magazine, sponsors get the exclusive chance to host a "Night at the Lights" to hand out goodies, fundraise, and connect directly with the community.

With the park lighting up in just four weeks, now is the time to secure your spot. Contact us today to discuss customizing your multi-year partnership package before it's too late!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Kids Bash at the Haunted Fort! 🎃🎃

It was a great day for families to come out the park, trick or treat with our first responders and explore the scared-down Haunted Fort!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this incredible event happen including Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, our presenting sponsor Marathon Petroleum Corporation and all of the first responders who were able to hand out candy to the trick or treaters!

🌲🎄 Christmas came a little early to Dykshoorn Park!

Over this beautiful fall weekend, a special delivery arrived in the heart of Mandan! Say hello to our NEW evergreen tree! 🌲

We can’t wait to see this beautiful tree light up the park this holiday season and become part of the Christmas memories our community will make for years to come.

Here’s to new traditions, magical moments, and many bright Christmas seasons ahead! ✨🎄❤️

We are looking for ONE final community sponsor to help us light up Mandan! 🎄✨

The Mandan Holiday Lights on Main is a beloved, completely free-to-attend community tradition that will run from November 27, 2026, to January 9, 2027. Every year, this magical experience impacts over 55,000 visitors and brings our hometown together during the winter season.

As a non-profit, the Mandan Progress Organization (MPO) relies entirely on the generosity of local businesses to make these events happen. Securing this final sponsorship for the Interactive Christmas Wall not only helps the Holiday Lights reach its annual funding goal, but it also keeps the MPO alive and well so we can continue creating the countless experiences that enhance our local community year-round.

Proposed Benefits of Sponsorship:
- Special sponsorship of a Signature Holiday Lights Display.
- Host “Night at the Lights,” a holiday lights night hosted and presented by you. It’s the ultimate opportunity to brand your business, hand out goodies, fundraise for a charity, and connect with the community.
- Logo placed on “main attraction” event banner.
- Logo affixed to a special holiday gift tag for your sponsored display.
- Business logo on event banners and advertising signage.
- Logo on event website and name/logo mentioned in social media campaign.
- ½ page ad in the Mandan Magazine Holiday Edition Nov-Dec Issue.

If your business is interested in stepping up to claim this final spot, we would love to partner with you! Please contact us at 701-751-2983 or [email protected]. We thank you for your time and consideration.

👇 How you can help:
Even if you cannot sponsor, you can make a huge difference! Please share this post, tag a local business below that might be a great fit, or leave a comment to help us spread the word and find our final supporter.
