Night We Light

The First City of Lights Foundation invites your business or organization to celebrate 30 years of light and be part of the annual the Night We Light Parade on Friday, November 27, beginning at 6PM. The parade route will start at the Beltrami County Administrative Building parking lot (on the west side of the building) going east on 8th Street, turning south on Beltrami Ave. to 3rd Street where it will travel west and end at Irvine Ave.

Please join us after the parade at the waterfront as we “flip the switch” to illuminate over a half million lights throughout the parks and downtown Bemidji to kick off the holiday season. If your organization would like to participate, please fill out and send in the registration form by Friday, November 20.

There is a $30.00 registration fee for businesses; there is a $15.00 fee for non-profit organizations. Pre-registration is required.

If you do not pre-register you will be placed at the end of the parade line-up and charged a registration fee of $40.00, non-profits will be charged $25.00.
