GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. - A growing holiday light display on Brush Hill Road in Great Barrington aims to get bigger and better year after year.

Matt Pevzner said his family now sets up more than 40,000 lights for the holidays at their home.

“I imagine at some point I got to max out here for lights," Pevzner said. "But as far as right now, I'm going to, you know, probably be more next year.”

Pevzner said collection has grown from the more than 20,000 lights he invested in during 2020.

“Once COVID hit, it was kind of like one of those things where everybody is so down and out and it's like we just got to kind of do something and make everybody happy," he said. "And we just kind of decided we'll just go up a little bit.”

The display features everything from reindeer in the yard to towering Christmas trees. Pevzner has even constructed and a star which hangs 75 feet above his house.

Despite the scale of the show, Pevzner said it’s not about competition.

“Far from a pro, but I love doing it," he said. "You know, there's a lot of people out there that do a great job. I don't really care if you have, you know, five lights or 500,000 lights. It's just the fact that you get out and you do it. It shows that you have some holiday spirit.”

Pevzner said he keeps the lights on 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve and he loves when people drive by his home on Brush Hill Road. He said it’s all about getting people in the holiday spirit and making his display better and better every year.

“We're doing what we wanted, that's making people happy," Pevzner said. "And when they stop, you know that they're enjoying it. "That's why we do it. I'm not looking to get anything out of it other than making people happy. And that's, you know, that's why we're here."
