Lights Fest lit up Ontario skies this weekend (PHOTOS)

Ontario skies were lit up with thousands of glowing lanterns this past weekend, as the popular Lights Fest made a stop near Toronto.

The Lights Fest is a travelling experience that welcomes the public to gather to listen to live music, enjoy great food and light up life by sharing personal wishes, dreams and goals.

Over the weekend, Lights Fest hosted its first-ever Toronto stop and took over the Ohsweken Speedway near Hamilton.

Thousands of Torontonians flocked to the space, where they were able to write out their own personal messages onto a white lantern and then send it off into the night sky.

The end results were nothing short of amazing, and since most of us couldn’t be there, you can check out some photos from the incredible event below.
