The effort put into these displays, often involving weeks of planning and hours of work in the cold, is a gift to the community, offering a free and accessible source of joy.
The tradition highlights the resilience and creativity of Manitobans, who use light to combat the winter darkness and create shared points of happiness. From suburban homes adorned with thousands of twinkling LEDs to public institutions like the museum contributing their own iconic twist, the landscape becomes a canvas for festive expression.
