The holiday season is coming early to downtown Lincoln, as a block of P Street is set to close temporarily to make way for the installation of Christmas lights — a sure sign that the festive spirit is alive and well in the capital city.

According to KOLN and KLIN, P Street in downtown Lincoln was scheduled to close on Monday for the Christmas light installation. The temporary closure is part of the annual effort to transform the downtown corridor into a glittering holiday destination that draws residents and visitors alike each winter season.

Downtown holiday light displays have long been a beloved Lincoln tradition, giving families, friends, and neighbors a reason to gather in the heart of the city during the colder months. The installation marks one of the first visible signs that the community is gearing up for the holiday season, and Lincolnites can look forward to enjoying the festive atmosphere in the weeks ahead.

Whether you plan to stroll through downtown with a warm drink in hand, bring the kids out for an evening walk, or simply take in the glow from a passing car, the lights are a reminder of what makes Lincoln’s community spirit shine — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

Keep an eye on downtown P Street as the season unfolds and the decorations come to life.
