“We’re raising funds so the Fantasy of Lights can continue to kick-off the holiday season in Howell, support local businesses and provide a day of fun in downtown the day after Thanksgiving for many families,” said Michelle Tokan, Fantasy of Lights director. “The Fantasy of Lights and Fantasy 5K bring thousands to Howell and have a direct economic impact on area businesses.”

The Fantasy of Lights is Friday, Nov. 29. This year’s parade theme is BOOK IT to Howell. It was developed in partnership with local author Denise Brennan-Nelson who has a new Christmas book being released in the fall. The Fantasy of Lights is working with other partner organizations in downtown Howell including Howell Parks & Recreation, Howell Main Street and the Howell Carnegie District Library who will be incorporating a book and literacy theme into their holiday events as well.

“We’re excited about the common theme and hope that families will enjoy the different ways that books will be represented,” said Tokan.

The Fantasy of Lights is a program of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, a nonprofit 501 c (3). Donations to the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation are tax deductible.
