The Festival has been organized by the Lions Festival of Lights Society for 38 years now.  Lions from Calgary and area the, members of IBEW #254 and members of the community at large donate their time to construct and set up the displays.  There are however many more people that contribute to the success of the event.  Sponsors come forward with financial support or supplies to help fund the basics.  Volunteers are the essential link to making the festival happen, without them the society or display would not be what it is today.

Why do you do it?

Besides giving everyone in Calgary some Christmas cheer we do this to give back to our city.  Calgarians donate time and money to the Lions each and every year and this is one of our ways of saying Thank You!
