Celebration of Lights bus tours

This year's Celebration of Lights Bus Tours are set to showcase Christmas displays that Clark Griswold himself would be envious of.

Sarnia Transit buses will depart from Lambton Mall Thursday and Friday night to tour houses entered in this year's lighting competition, while also showcasing the display at Centennial Park.

Transit Superintendent Andrew Savor said the roughly 45-minute tour is just $2, and it comes with a festive treat.

"We're driving past approximately 12 houses that are in this year's competition. There's a few more that the buses aren't physically able to get to," said Savor. "It starts beside Play It Again Sports, and kids and adults should expect candy-canes on the bus."

There will be four tours each night going every half hour beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Savor said there's no limit of tickets, which can only be purchased on the bus.

He also said their busiest time is usually between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Those attending are asked to bring non-perishable food and toiletry items.

Savor said Santa Claus will be there to greet those waiting for the bus.
