"Being able to organise this event is my way of helping the community enjoy this annual tradition as much as we do," Ms Comeskey said.
"I'm so grateful for the time and effort people put into decorating their houses."
The event raises money for the not-for-profit Newspapers in Education programme, which provides free newspapers to students and families in the Bay of Plenty.
Registration forms are inside the Bay of Plenty Times every day or people interested in taking part can drop an email to promotions@bayofplentytimes.co.nz.
