WRLIGHTS 2019 at a glance.
Display.
The 2019 display ran from December 3rd – January 6th, from 4:30 – 10:00 pm each day. Over the course of these twenty-nine evenings, more than 43,000 people visited White Rock Waterfront to enjoy the magical display of lights.
Lights.
Called a “unique mosaic” of glittering lights, the 2019 display completely transformed the beachfront. The Magical Meadow was filled with dozens of live trees decorated by local businesses and hundreds of lantern decorations created by students in the White Rock and South Surrey areas.
Support.
At its core, this was a community–created display and would not have been possible without the generous support of our individual and corporate partners. We are pleased to share that West Beach shops and restaurants noticed a 20% increase in business during the days of the 2019 display.

Special thanks to the individuals and organizations who generously supported our inaugural season.
“A few hundred people let out a cheer after a ten-second countdown initiated the start of the Display of Lights.”
