The Fergus BIA is lighting up the night in downtown Fergus.
Lighting will be installed under the Milligan Footbridge crossing the Grand River, shining throughout the gorge, downstream to the whirlpool and grotto and upstream to the rapids.
“Everyone is really excited about lighting the beautiful Grand River gorge in downtown Fergus,” said BIA Chair, Jackie Fraser. “Many stopped by to see the test run on Nov. 1 and we’ve had ‘glowing’ feedback on our downtown Fergus Facebook page ever since.”
To brighten the dark winter season, the BIA has also installed festive lighting and gorgeous lighted bows for most of St Andrew Street.
On Dec. 2 at 7pm the BIA will host its annual Christmas tree lighting in front of the library, just in time for Santa’s arrival at the parade the next day. Be sure to stop by for hot apple cider and carolling by the Centre Wellington Singers.
The BIA is hoping the installation of the falls lighting can happen in time for Moonlight Madness on Dec. 16. Officials want to thank Centre Wellington Hydro, Triton Engineering and township staff for all their work.
