Thank you for your interest in Festival of Lights. Please check back next November for 2008 details.
Festival of Lights 2007
The Green Bay Packers and Festival Foods again ushered in the yuletide spirit with the second annual 'Festival of Lights at Lambeau Field,' Saturday, Dec. 8, 2007, from 5 to 7 p.m.
This year's event featured one change: the Packers tree was chosen via an essay contest which was open to anyone from Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan who had a 35-45 foot evergreen tree and wanted to donate it to the event. Potential donors submitted proposals of 100 words or less on why his or her tree should be used for 'Festival of Lights' and displayed at Lambeau Field through the holiday season.
The Packers arranged for the tree to be harvested and transported to Lambeau Field. The owner of the selected tree received four tickets to the Packers-Raiders game, Dec. 9.
The family-themed event, free to the public, featured music choirs, reindeer and Santa Claus, and culminated on Harlan Plaza with the spectacular illumination of the holiday tree decorated with more than 10,000 lights.
Beginning at 5 p.m. in the Lambeau Field Atrium, 'Festival of Lights' featured area high school choirs performing holiday music, cookie decorating, reindeer petting, holiday card making for troops on duty and photo opportunities with Santa Claus.
At 6:30 p.m. the event moved out onto Harlan Plaza for the formal lighting of the holiday tree. Mills Fleet Farm provided the lights for the tree.
In addition, the Packers Pro Shop and Festival Foods sold Packers ornaments with proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Club. Ornaments were priced at $6, with $2.50 going to charity, and were available the entire holiday season at the Packers Pro Shop and Festival Foods Stores.
