The City of Steinbach is looking very festive after City employees installed an estimated 500 Christmas light strings throughout various areas of the local community.

The City notes that lights will be turned on every night until the New Year and can be seen on trees along Main Street, Reimer Avenue across from City Hall, as well as on trees by the K.R. Barkman Park gazebo. City Hall and the welcome sign at the south end of Steinbach are also lit up.

The Christmas light strings are comprised of 22,000 LED lights, with trees on Reimer Avenue featuring about 4,200 lights alone.

The City has heard many wonderful compliments about the beauty of the lights and is pleased to be able to display them again this year.
