BAKERSFIELD, CA. - The holiday lights are back on in downtown Bakersfield, courtesy of some local support.
Every year the Downtown Business Association looks for a sponsor to pay for installment of the lights.
Last year, Chester was dark, but this year, Bakersfield City Council woman Jacquie Sullivan and several Chester Avenue merchants paid for the lighting.
The hope is to keep the lights up year round, as a way to welcome people to Bakersfield.
