The Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce has announced the winners of the 2021 Ring of Lights home decorating contest. Many are perennial winners, a few are noted newcomers, but all added to the dazzling holiday light displays in Newport Beach. Most homes will have their lights on display through New Year’s weekend, so you still have time to go out and be dazzled by the dazzling displays.
