Christmas season in the Cowichan Region isn’t complete without a trip up to Ladysmith for the Festival of Lights. The town is decorate with over 200,000 Christmas lights on the main street, a number of the side streets and pretty much every building lining them. Words don’t really do the display justice so I’ll stick with some photographs shot during the past few years. The Ladysmith Festival of Lights runs until January 13th so there is still plenty of time to drop by for the spectacle.
