City Lights display deadline is Oct. 24

Advertiser Staff

One of the first clues that the holiday season is just around the corner is that the city has announced the deadline to apply for a Honolulu City Lights display is Oct. 24.

Non-profit organizations interested in creating a display on the Civic Center grounds must submit applications to the Neighborhood Commission Office.

Permits will be issued for five display sites via a lottery scheduled for Nov. 1. The lottery will be held at 10 a.m. in the Mayor's Conference Room, 3rd Floor, 550 S. King Street.

Applicants need not be present to be selected.

Displays chosen through the lottery process will be on view during the same period as Honolulu City Lights.

A news release from the city said applicants must be bona fide non-profit organizations formed under HRS Chapter 415B or any charitable organization formed pursuant to HRS Chapter 467B or under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code.

Proof of this designation must be submitted with the application by October 24 to be eligible for the lottery.

Interested groups should contact Joan Manke in the Neighborhood Commission Office, at 527-5759 to request a copy of the application and the rules governing the use of the grounds during Honolulu City Lights.
