The Festival of Lights in Shelbyville kicked off over the weekend. 

Organizer Brenda Elder says it’s back this year better than ever. 

Jake and Makayla Holt opened up the festivities Friday night with a live music performance. 

Coordinator Bill Blye says they have been preparing the Festival of Lights for over a month. 

Blye encourages you to visit as much as you would like through the holiday season. 

Blye, Holt, and Elder appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show from studios in downtown Shelbyville.
