BATTLE CREEK -- Battle Creek launched their International Festival of Lights across downtown Saturday.  The festival features over 1-million Christmas lights that will light up the city from now until December 31st. 

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is partnering with the festival bringing in a computerized light show that takes place in Mill Race park just off Columbia Avenue downtown.   

The light show is synced with music and runs throughout the festival.  For a full list of events at the International Festival of Lights click HERE.
