Festival of Lights Sponsorship Opportunities

The holiday season is just around the corner, which means the Festival of Lights is too! The City’s Lighting Display Committee is seeking donations from organizations, groups, clubs, industries and private citizens interested in supporting this beloved holiday tradition for another season.

This year’s festival will kick off with a launch event on Friday, Nov. 14 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Jane Forrester Park. The night will feature live music, food vendors, Santa and Mrs. Claus, a drone light show and more. More exciting details on the event will be released closer to the date and residents are encouraged to stay tuned to the Festival of Lights webpage for future updates.

"This year's Festival of Lights is set to be more spectacular than ever,” said Lighting Display Committee Chair Councillor Garnet Thompson. “Thanks to our generous donors, we have a wonderful display planned for the 2025 season and we are looking forward to kicking it all off with an extra special launch night event. I extend my heartfelt thanks to every person and organization who generously contributes every year. This cherished holiday tradition wouldn't be possible without your support."

Funds raised for the Festival of Lights go towards refurbishing existing displays, replacing bulbs and/or purchasing new displays. Donations of all sizes are welcome and will receive a charitable tax receipt from the City of Belleville.

Those interested in donating can now do so online.
