Thousands of people attended the Luminary Festival at Sandstone Park Saturday, Sept. 10 in North Delta, according to Delta Mayor George Harvie.

After a three-year break due to the pandemic, the annual festival was back in full swing. Harvie said it is the best festival in Delta.

The event featured live performances, crafts, food trucks, and lots of family-friendly activities.

Harvie said the overall mood was “fun, enjoyment, less stress, no restrictions.”

Guests were encouraged to dress up in costumes and bring lanterns to illuminate the park. Those posting photos on social media using the hashtag #illuminatedelta22 have a chance to win a six-month Delta parks and recreation drop-in pass.
