Kingsville's Official Statement Regarding Williams Lightshow

We were saddened to learn that the Williams family will not move forward with their light display this year.

It has been clear for many years that the light show has outgrown the neighbourhood.

In the past, the municipality has attempted to work with the organizers to move their display to an appropriate public space but could not meet their terms.

During a survey conducted this year, we found that while many neighbours supported the event, others voiced significant concerns regarding its impact on the quiet enjoyment of their properties and the safe passage of emergency vehicles.

The Large Holiday Display By-law does not prevent the organizers from having their display but establishes reasonable limitations on the hours of operation.

The organizers were contacted before and after the approval of the by-law, encouraging them to apply for the permit and continue their show. Unfortunately, it seems they have decided not to work within the framework of the by-law.

We sincerely wish the Williams family the best in their future endeavours with their lightshow.
