Lights of Lobethal Festival

WELCOME to the 2009 Lights of Lobethal festival!

Lobethal lights up on Sunday December 13th and the festival continues until the 31st of December.

MAJOR SPONSOR: ETSA Utilities

From December 13th, following the official “Lights On” ceremony at 8.30pm, residents will turn on their lights and these wonderful light displays will remain lit each night until New Year’s Eve. A map of the Lobethal Light Trail shows the main driving routes and the designated parking areas.

We hope you also take time to view the Living Nativity (performed twice a night), Deck the Hall and the Christmas Tree Display.

This year's Pageant Night is Wednesday the 23rd December.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy visiting our town and the wonderful Lights of Lobethal Festival. Contact Buses R Us for bus transport to and around the Lights.
