The Festival of Lights is an annual event in downtown Summerland that kicks off the winter season. It features music on two different stages with local entertainers, a beverage tent for sampling local wines, ciders, and spirits, and a family fun zone. The festival kicks off with a Santa procession at 5 pm, followed by the lighting of the downtown core at 7 pm, and concludes with a spectacular fireworks display at 8:30 pm.
