The Festival of Northern Lights is a large award winning display of Christmas lights in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada.
The Festival runs from mid November well into January each year. It consists of more than 350 lighted displays and approximately 15 miles (24 km) of light strings displayed over several miles of city streets and parks. It has been named one of the top 100 festivals in Ontario for 2009 by Festivals and Events Ontario, an industry organization.[1]
In its 21st year in 2008 it was gradually converted to LED lights from traditional incandescent lights out of respect for the environment. This also reduced the operating costs allowing the festival operators to expand the size of the festival.
