All will be merry and bright in Belleville next Friday with a beloved tradition set to begin again.
This year’s Festival of Lights will launch that night, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Jane Forrester Park (30 South John St.) for live music, food vendors, a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, a spectacular drone light show (weather
permitting) and more.
Gleaners Food Bank will also be on site for launch night collecting non-perishable food donations.
The Festival of Lights runs from Nov. 20 to Jan. 4 at Jane Forrester Park.
This year’s display will feature three new installations: a reindeer display, a gingerbread house and a candy cane arch.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be making appearances at the park every Friday night from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. starting Nov. 27 until Dec. 18, collecting letters and holiday wishes before the big day.
Donations of all size are encouraged.
