Due to state legislation (SF0069), which reduced homeowner property taxes by 25%, the City of Casper Parks Division is now facing significant budget limitations. In addition to cuts across the Parks Division, these financial constraints directly impact city-sponsored public events—and unfortunately, the Festival of Lights is one of them.
Here is what this means:
• Only 30 trees will be lit this year, down from 67 in 2024.
• Tree sponsorships are limited to 18 show trees and 12 trees along 2nd Street near the hospital—offered on a first-come first-served basis.
• There will be no official traditional lighting ceremony this year.
