It started out as a way to help fund a bright idea, but within a few years, it has grown into one of the areas most beloved displays.

Each year, West Union’s Festival of Lights, located at the West Union Rec Center draws many on-lookers as they drive through the one-of-a-kind Festival of Lights.  

While much of the display reflects the joy of the holiday season, there is an area that is dedicated to remembering those we have lost.
