WORCESTER—Drizzly weather didn’t affect the turnout or dim the spirit of the 17th annual Festival of Lights, which helped the community kick off the holidays. Hundreds attended the event to ice skate, enjoy food, hot chocolate and beer, performances, and “lighting events,” including the big tree.
“This event promotes community, neighborliness and collaboration during the holiday season,” said Shantelle Campbell, Worcester’s marketing and community relations coordinator. “We support local businesses and vendors and want to continue collaborating with community members and leaders to support diversity, equity and inclusion year round. It’s a great way to kick off the holiday season and gear up for the new year and new exciting things to come for the Worcester community.”
