For over 15 years, the Maywald Christmas Light Display has lit up Southwest Austin with holiday magic.

"As a kid, I was putting lights in the front yard, and then I'm like dang, I really want a big property we can make this big one day and I did," said Jordan.

What started 18 years ago with a few strings of lights, has grown into a three-acre display featuring more than 350,000 lights.

"It's like with anything else. It starts small, then it just explodes, which this did lights on the roof, something in the yard, then over the years, what can I add to it? I always went to the after-Christmas sales and just bought a lot of stuff," said Jordan.

Jordan Maywald is the creator behind the magic, transforming his family’s property into a beloved winter wonderland that welcomed thousands of visitors each holiday season and raised more than $400,000 for Make-A-Wish Central and South Texas.

"Christmas is the season of giving, you know, and what better way to give back then giving to kids going through something a little difficult," said Jordan.

Though the final season has come to a close, the legacy of their generosity will live on through the wishes made possible by nearly two decades of community support. 

"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the incredible support you’ve shown us year after year. It has been a true joy welcoming you all to our home to share in the magic of our Christmas display. We hope the memories you’ve made here stay with you forever." – The Maywald's

Thank you to the Maywald family, volunteers, and visitors for making the 2025 season the most impactful yet.
