 Well, downtown Bemidji is a little brighter this holiday season after the Night We Light Parade took place this evening. Over 165,000 lights were plugged in at Paul Bunyan Park, Library Park and downtown Bemidji. The 21st annual first city of light celebration included Santa's Workshop, the parade, lighting ceremony and a bonfire. The Night We Light celebration is hosted by the Bemidji JCs. The lights will continue to spread holiday cheer throughout the rest of the season.
