Bright Lights teardown complete at Jackson Park

All Bright Lights displays are now officially put away for the year.

The City of Windsor announced Tuesday morning that Jackson Park is now fully open after the teardown of the annual holiday lights spectacular was completed.

All the park's pathways are now operational, and the parking lot adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth II Sunken Garden is open.

Bright Lights Windsor, which closed on January 7, kept its place as the most popular holiday attraction in the region, with an estimated 100,000 people enjoying the displays, live entertainment, food and drink, and activities over five weeks.

A survey from the City of Windsor is still open as preparations begin for the 2024-25 display. That survey is available on the City's official website.
