Please ask for permission before use.A Little HistoryThe early focus of the Festival was to decorate just the downtown core but this was soon changed to include Coronation Mall and then to expand to the blocks surrounding the downtown area. The past couple of years has seen a great physical change to Ladysmith's downtown, which has created many new opportunities for the Festival of Lights volunteers to create and add new lights and decorations.Ladysmith & District Credit Union fireworksWe acknowledge the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia but probably the biggest 'sponsors', though, are the residents of Ladysmith. Over the years the ever increasing core of volunteers has gone the longest way in helping to make Ladysmith famous for its annual Light Up and its community spirit and to also make people aware of what they had in their own downtown and to shop local.For all of this assistance, the Festival of Lights is extremely grateful
