For the first time, Gift of Lights is visiting the capital, and has set up a two-kilometre roadway, consisting of 30 animated light displays and a tunnel made of lights at the end that drivers can navigate through.<\/p>\n<p>The display, which started on Nov. 25, can be found at Wesley Clover Parks, on Corkstown Road.<\/p>\n<p>It is $20 per car to visit and will be running every night from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. until Jan.\u00a01. It is presented by radio station MAJIC 100 FM, and proceeds will support the Sens Foundation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
