Saturday was the final night of Bishop Hill’s Lucia Nights event, also known as their festival of lights.

To give a little history lesson, this event is actually a Swedish tradition based on the legend of Saint Lucia, who was the “queen of light.”

And they do quite well honoring her. Plenty of great lights around the town this time of year.
