We had originally planned on going again this year (we went last year), but after reading about it, decided it would be the same as last year so we didn’t bother going.<\/p>\n
From the Buffalo News:<\/p>\n
Mickey and Minnie Mouse mascots will flip the switch Saturday evening to mark the official start of the 29th annual CAA Winter Festival of Lights at the Ontario Power Generation Opening Ceremonies at 5:45 in Queen Victoria Park.<\/p>\n
In addition to the debut of the lights, a one-hour stage show will feature performances by up-and-coming Canadian singers Brooklyn Roebuck and Stephanie McIlroy, the cast of the \u201cOh Canada Eh?\u201d dinner show, the Wendy Leard\u00a0School of Dance, the Festival Choir and champion magician Greg Frewin. The first holiday fireworks show will follow. A second show, complete with fireworks, will start at 7. Both shows are free.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
