Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladysmith’s famous Festival of Lights rooftop displays are still up. The displays will remain until community transmission of the virus has ended, or the government relaxes COVID-19 restrictions.
Festival of Lights President, Alex Cook, said that groups of four to six volunteers have to work in close proximity to take the displays down.
“We can’t put crews up there right now,” Cook said.
