The City of Welland has announced that due to COVID-19, they will only support self-guided tours for the upcoming Welland Winter Lights contest.

They had previously announced that there would be bus tours, but that has been cancelled to ensure public safety.

The contest is taking place on December 7th and 8th.

City staff and the Welland Downtown Business Improvement Area will be at Market Square both of those nights.

They will be collecting donations for the Fill the Bus Food Drive.

You can drop off food and toy donations from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. those evenings.

They will also hand out complimentary antlers and treats bags while supplies last.
