Popular light display canceled this year. Here's why

The Space Coast Light Festival – a 1.3-mile drive/walk-thru holiday light display in Palm Bay – will not happen this year "due to reasons beyond our control," organizers posted recently on the event's website. "Due to reasons beyond our control, we have decided to cancel the light festival until further notice," read a message posted to the event's website. "However, we remain optimistic and hopeful. The magic and wonder of the Light Festival is only being paused, not extinguished."
