Fireworks Update
Unfortunately, due to changes in fire and safety regulations, the LDCU will not be able to sponsor fireworks after the parade this year.
“We had hoped to make this year’s fireworks display the largest yet, in celebration of LDCU’s 80 years in Ladysmith,” said John de Leeuw, CEO of LDCU. “Unfortunately, the fire and safety regulations have made hosting fireworks downtown during Light Up Night unworkable. Despite every effort by LDCU and the Festival organizers to overcome obstacles and find a solution, it wasn’t feasible.” said de Leeuw.
But with new challenges come new opportunities. In light of these changes, LDCU and the Festival of Lights are exploring exciting alternatives to bring a fresh experience to the Festival.
