Tis the Season
Each year Preston holds the "Idaho Festival of Lights", which starts
the day after Thanksgiving and goes until December 31. The festival
was started by two local business men (Wayne Bell and Walter Ross)
along with many other community organizations to help celebrate
Christmas within the community. The festival consists of a lighted
parade, fireworks, and displays in the city park. The merchants along
the main street of Preston have their store fronts decorated with
Christmas lights during the festival.
A key event of the festival is the International Bed Race, which is
held on the Saturday following Thanksgiving on the main street of
Preston. Additional events are a kids' parade and free movie.
