festival lights

Decorative holiday bulbs

Festival lights are strings of small decorative bulbs used to illuminate celebrations, holidays, and outdoor gatherings.

They create atmosphere at events ranging from backyard parties to large public festivals: The plaza was strung with festival lights for the summer concert series.

The term overlaps with string lights and fairy lights, though festival lights often suggests larger-scale or more colorful displays.
