- The 2005 celebration will take place in Old Town.
- The festival includes traditional cubical lamps lining the streets, with beeswax candles lit within.
- The celebration includes fire-dancers, singing, and of course vendors selling harbonnes with cinnamon-sugar, mulled cider, and fresh apple pie.
- "The colourful lamps are perfect in the setting of the Old Town, because they emphasize the graceful architecture of these old buildings." --chairman Raoul Valentin of the Old Town Renewal Committee
- The holiday is mostly a time of giving gifts.
