The Festival of Trees is a Christmas celebration in Grimsby and it raises money for Rotary's charitable causes. It is very popular with sponsors who pay for trees and decorations. It is equally popular with the public who view the trees and buy lottery tickets for donated items.
I started the search for a summer equivalent - some sort of fantasy of summer trees - perhaps a patio lantern festival. I did a search for patio lantern and found so many results. Of course we find Kim Mitchell's Patio Lanterns hit song, and all the summer festivals he has appeared at recently.
A surprise is more than one winter solstice festival. I was intrigued by the Secret Lantern Society with their festival at the Winter Solstice. There's Zoominations where zoos have lantern festivals. The Calgary festival was named Illuminasia.
These all sound so great - how to bring these to Grimsby for a distinct summer event.
