The Festival of Lights was a dream of the City of Aurora. The project  was undertaken by a new member committee from the Rotary club of Aurora in 2006 in response to a challenge from the Clubs board of directors to propose a new fund raiser.  The first Festival opened the day after Thanksgiving in 2006 with displays rented and installed by an outside firm.  Since that first opening the Rotary Club of Aurora has purchased some $300,000 in both static and animated displays and related equipment. In partnership with the City of Aurora,  the Rotary Club, City staff  and community volunteers put up and take down all of these displays - a savings of nearly $50,000 annually.  Sponsorships allow us to continue to purchase new displays and maintain those in inventory. All but two of our displays are now comprised of LED bulbs which consume 87% less electricity and help us to grow the Festival.  The festival is free to the public. The Rotary Club of Aurora does accept "free will donations" along the route.  ALL donations collected are returned to local not-for-profit community organizations favoring those who help youth.
