Stage three of Bright Lights Windsor set-up underway

The next phase of preparations for this year's Bright Lights Windsor event is underway in Jackson Park.

In the third stage, more fencing is going up around the Queen Elizabeth II Sunken Gardens.

Access to Jackson Park at the gate on Ouellette Avenue and Tecumseh Road will be blocked, along with the west side of the pathway past the Warplanes Monument.

Those attending the Remembrance Day Ceremonies at Jackson Park next month will need to use the entrance located on Memorial Drive, off McDougall Street.

Bright Lights Windsor, a major community festival drawing families and visitors, is scheduled from November 28 to January 7.

Last year, more than 105,000 people attended the festival.
