The Festival of Lights runs from Nov. 17 to Jan. 7 at Jane Forrester Park. This year’s display will feature exciting new installations including a gingerbread man, penguin and an interactive snowman. Attendees are encouraged to take photos with the displays and show their love by using the hashtag #BellevilleFestivalofLights.

In addition to the launch night, Santa and Mrs. Claus will make appearances at the display every Friday night from Dec. 1 to 22, collecting letters and Christmas wishes before the big day. For more information on the Festival of Lights, visit: Belleville.ca/FestivalofLights.
