City Support for Upcoming Nikka Yuko Events
LETHBRIDGE – The Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens has some exciting events and celebrations coming up.
On Monday, February 8, city council voted to write a letter of support to help with grants so they can bring in a Winter Lights Festival. If they’re successful in receiving grants, it’ll run from December 1 to January 15, and be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
“What we’re looking at trying to do is put about 80-thousand LED lights into the garden,” noted Executive Director, Michelle Day.
“We want to give the community the opportunity to see the garden in the winter time… This is about doing something in respect and honour of Japan, and the reasons why they put up lights.”
