2025 Battle of the Badges: Holiday Lights - Join us and get in the holiday spirit as regional public safety agencies compete for the best-decorated vehicles and displays! You’ll enjoy music, food trucks, and holiday fun. After checking out all the displays, vote for your favorite!
38 Public Safety divisions from around the region will get festive and decorate their vehicle or a 10 x 10 canopy, then YOU get to walk through and vote on the best Use of Lights, Overall Design and Holiday Spirit!
Want to show your appreciation for Renton’s first responders?
This year, Renton Technical College is providing a hot, hearty dinner for the firefighters, EMTs, and officers working during the Holiday Lights Battle of the Badges. These are the people who step in on our hardest days, who give their time, energy, and care to keep our community safe and supported.
We’re inviting local partners and neighbors to help us say thank you. Instead of donated dishes this year, we are accepting monetary contributions to cover the cost of the meal. A suggested donation of $100 helps ensure every responder at the event is welcomed with good food and warm community support.
If you’re able, please consider contributing. Your donation is more than dinner, it is a gesture of gratitude for those who show up for all of us, every day. Please contact
