The Big Garden Light Show is one of the newest holiday traditions in St. John's
Bright Light Festival, Botanical Gardens in St. John's, N.L. It's in its seventh year and still getting bigger.
Last time they checked, there were about 125,000 LEDs used in the display — but that was a few years ago, and not all of them are exactly easy.
"If we ask the staff who hang these to count them for us, or measure the length, they get very upset with us," said Deborah Coombs, adviser to Memorial University's botanical gardens.
More than we can count."
Thousands upon thousands of lights are used all in a one kilometer circle for the annual Happy and Bright Garden Festival.
The festival continues in its run and gets seventy years bigger – this year it runs for 22 nights.
Last year it had about 27,000 visitors.
"It's a joyous event and when people come in droves," Coombs says.
