Bloomington resident Will Weyrens has built a seasonal tradition through the light shows he creates at his home each Halloween and winter. A lighting designer, he has been making these displays since 2016 and brought them to Bloomington when his family moved here in 2020.
Weyrens discovered his interest in production work in middle school after being assigned to the tech crew during a school play.
“The mix of the creativity and the technical stuff was kind of what I fell in love with,” he said.
That early experience led him to study electrical engineering and later build shows that allow him full creative control.
Each year he selects music, designs, themes and programs the display so it runs in a repeating loop. A popular feature is a short segment from the musical “Wicked” that rotates with the larger Christmas playlist during the holiday season.
Weyrens said feedback from neighbors has been positive, and he works to keep the experience welcoming. Music is broadcast through a low-powered FM station so visitors can listen from their cars. Watch our recent reel featuring Weyrens’ work at blm.mn/weyrens.
