They may not be Clark Griswold’s imported Italian twinkle lights, but they provide hope for many around the holidays.
The Lloydminster Kiwanis Club’s Festival of Lights could be seen from space on Nov. 24 as Kurt and Heather Price flipped the switch to roughly 25,000 Christmas lights in Kiwanis Park.
Sunday’s ceremony marked the start of the sixth annual Festival of Lights for the local service club.
Club president, Brad Pelley, was happy with the turnout and touched on the importance of coming together and sharing kindness.
“This annual event marks the beginning of the holiday season, and I can’t think of a better way to come together as a community to spread joy, light, and hope,” said Pelley.
“The park we are about to light symbolizes the warmth and spirit of the season and serves as a beacon of hope for everyone.”
The lights will be turned on every night from 4:30 to 11 p.m. until the first week of January.
The Lloydminster Kiwanis Club is always looking for new members. Interested in joining the club? Contact Vera at 780-871-1298.
