Magical Musical Christmas Murals - Grants Pass, Oregon
Looking for a festive activity to entertain the kids and holidays guests? Consider visiting Grants Pass, Oregon, where the Magical Musical Christmas Murals are on display along 6th Street in old downtown.
Beginning the 3rd week of November and running through the first week of the New Year, downtown Grants Pass will radiate with fiber optic dazzle from 18 gigantic Magical Musical Christmas Murals. The over-sized murals weigh 400 pounds each and include automatic sound systems to play the old-fashioned Christmas music emanating from them. The murals are 12 inches thick, ten feet tall, five feet wide, and wired with miles of fiber optic cable and thousands of points of lights.
And what lights! They flow and blink so that snow falls and accumulates, bells ring, gifts collect under the tree, and aurora borealis shimmers in the night sky. Each mural takes 20 to 30 seconds to tell its "story." The murals were manufactured by Fiberoptic Lighting, Inc., of Grants Pass, at an average cost of $12,000 each.
The Magical Musical Christmas Murals are sure to cause visitors and residents of Grants Pass much "ohs and ahs" during the holidays. In addition to this celebratory fun, there is much more to do in our downtown area, such as browsing antique and specialty shops, listening to music, touring the art galleries, having a great cup of coffee, sipping wine, and enjoying our fine eateries.
For added oomph, plan to visit Grants Pass on Friday, December 5th, for the First Friday Night Art Walk, one of the oldest and most popular art walk events in the state. Downtown Grants Pass is a magnet for a proud and passionate art community whose eclectic works provide great shopping gift ideas for Christmas. See you there!
