LISBON -- The Lights on the River display will run from Dec. 15-23, this year at Lisbon Beach.

It features holiday light displays made by local businesses and families.

Since 2010, Lights on the River has raised over $115,000 and 33,000 pounds in food donations. These donations have been spread across 16 food pantries throughout the St. Lawrence County area, said the Lights on the River website.

This year will feature a new display “Our Angels in Heaven Stars.”
