Video: Check Out This Bonkers Holiday-Light Prince Tribute In Park Ridge

The Purple One meets Griswold-style holiday excess at this completely bonkers Prince-tribute Christmas light display in Park Ridge. With a giant bright-lit replica of Prince's iconic guitar, a greatest-hits-heavy medley pumping out of the speakers, and—of course—purple lights galore, we like to think the late, great pop genius would approve of the spectacle.

The Park Ridge house, owned by the Grant-Gruseckis, is at Engel Blvd and Belle Plaine Ave.; and the lights extravaganza strains the grid from 5 to 8:55 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 5 to 9:55 p.m., Friday and Saturday, according to XRT.
