The Festival of Lights!

The Festival of Lights
 
 
Every year in the month of December, the Alexandria Island Park is decorated and lit with thousands of Christmas lights. The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce organizes this amazing lights display every year. Every year, it becomes more beautiful than the last. The Chamber members all have displays representing their company or school. Most members are local businesses in the area. The Festival of Lights starts the 29th November and ends the 31st December, the hours of operation are from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. On December 31st (New Year's Eve) at 6:00 pm, there is a Fireworks display to celebrate the New Year and it also signfies the end of the Festival of Lights until next year. 
 
This year, I took a walk around the park at night and took some pictures of the displays. Here are a few of my favorite picture that I took.
 
 




 
 
This year was an amazing time for me. I had so much fun starting this blog, and I promise to post more in 2015. This year will bring more inspiration and more posts, and this is my promise to my readers. I really hope you liked this ''short'' blog post. See you in 2015!!!
