A festive upcycling, Kauai’s 26th Annual Festival of Lights
LIHUE, Hawaii — Aluminum cans are transformed into vibrant flowers and water bottles into cheery butterflies at the 26th Annual Festival of Lights inspired by local designer Elizabeth Freeman. Local artisans help Freeman bring the award-winning, uniquely Kauai-style extravaganza to life, incorporating recycled and reclaimed materials that would have otherwise ended up in the trash.
From Thanksgiving night, Nov. 24, to New Year’s Day, the public is invited to take in the fantastical light display at the Historic County Building, 6-11 p.m. Folks can also bring their cameras and phones, and have their photos taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus, 6-8 p.m. every Friday from Dec. 2 to 24.
