Bright Lights Festival expanding to two days
LETHBRIDGE – The snow around the city over the last few days has it feeling like winter, and in a few weeks the 17th Annual Bright Lights Festival will kick off the holiday shopping season in downtown Lethbridge.
The festival has been expanded to a two-day event this year, on Friday, Nov. 17 and Saturday, Nov. 18, with even more family-oriented activities than previous years.
Executive Director of Downtown Lethbridge BRZ, Ted Stilson, says for the past 16 years they’ve only had the Friday evening, but with help from their two major sponsors this year they’ve been able to expand.
“Thanks to VisitLethbridge.com and Heart of Our City, along with some of our other business partners stepping up this year, we’re going to be bringing in some other things for Saturday.”
