How It All Started

What began as a simple desire to inspire joy and bring their community together has grown into something truly magical for everyone’s family.

The Beginning

A Family Dream

It all started with the Maust family's love for the Christmas season. What began as a simple desire to inspire joy and bring their community, has grown into something truly magical for everyone’s family.

"I was looking for a way to build something I could do with my family," says Jon Maust, founder of Joyful Lights. "I wanted to teach my sons hard skills they can use in life, and let them be a part of something bigger."
