From the Niagara Falls Review:

Mickey and Minnie will be there, but Winter Festival of Lights general manager Dino Fazio promises the 25th anniversary of the event won’t be a Mickey Mouse celebration.

“I have absolutely no qualms saying if (the Winter Festival of Lights) is not the best illumination festival in North America, it’s in the top two,” Fazio said following Thursday’s roll-out of the scheduled events for the two-month festival.

The silver anniversary celebrations kick off Nov. 3 with Disney’s signature characters flipping the switch to illuminate close to three million lights on more than 120 displays along a five-kilometre stretch of the Niagara Parkway.
