NEWS RELEASE
SEASKY INTERNATIONAL LIGHT SHOW
****************************
NIAGARA FALLS - Seasky International Light Show has made the difficult decision to temporarily postpone the opening of their Niagara Falls lantern and light festival due to the unprecedented events of the COVID-19 pandemic and based on the evolving restrictions in place by government and health officials to support the health and safety of the community.
The outdoor event showcased on a 1.5 hour illuminated trail was set to launch Dec. 9 2020.
Realizing the challenges of the current health situation as Niagara Region moved into a Code Orange Zone, the Seasky team diligently enforced extra safety measures to meet the regulated requirements for the maximum of 100 people at our event such as timed entry and limited ticket sales into the 8-acre span of the show to ensure excellence in procedures. However, despite all efforts, the heightened uncertainty of COVID protocols moving forward has necessitated the decision to delay the event.
“This was an extremely difficult decision to postpone an occasion that was set to bring so much joy and entertainment to everyone at this time of year," said Joyce Morocco, consultant for Seasky. “Our team has been following guidance from the relevant government agencies and cautiously preparing for our wonderful show, however, recent feedback from health authorities indicate we must now accept the reality of a suspended opening and know it is the right decision. We want to thank the thousands of people who purchased tickets in advance and let them know they will receive a full refund and we hope to see them very soon as we now shift focus to our new dates.”
Despite the slight setback, the team that have been constructing the displays on site for the past month, fully support the responsible measures that the government and Niagara Public Health have taken in response to this global pandemic.
Seasky International Light Show apologizes for any inconvenience this announcement may cause and appreciate the understanding of everyone as they look forward with optimism to a bright and healthy 2021.
