This year marks the 60th anniversary since a modest lighting display was created by Don and Rita Foster at their home in honour of their son Billy Foster and his best friend Art “Sonny” Culloden who died in a holiday season crash in 1958.
At tomorrow’s Lighting Ceremony Launch, there’s music by DJ Scotty Lalonde, live music from CJBQ’s Freddy Vette, and a big fireworks show.
The Canadian Armed Forces will also delight the crowd with two Flyby passes performed in a CC130 Hercules flown by Captain Greg Heffren and members of 424 Squadron.
Everything starts at 5 p.m. with the official ceremony beginning at 6 and the fireworks display at 7:30.
