Smithville , Texas, November 15, 2005 – LiveAir Networks, Smithville’s most advanced Internet Solutions Provider, today announced that the 15th Annual Smithville Festival of Lights Parade will be broadcasted live on the Internet to viewers around the globe, beginning at 6:30 PM CST on December 3, 2005.
"We are thrilled to be webcasting the Festival of Lights parade this year,” said James W. Breeden, president of LiveAir Networks. “This annual event attracts many individuals from Central Texas, and we are glad to be a part of what we hope to be a new, global audience for our small town celebration. This event has traditionally been limited to being on Main Street, but now the Internet brings the event to the forefront of everyone's computers. There is no reason for anyone not to be there. This is the ultimate spot on the Web."
LiveAir Networks will be streaming Live from “LiveAir Central” – their Main Street Business Expo booth location located near the Railroad Park Gazebo at 1st and Main.
Streaming events will be happening all day.
- 10:00AM to 5:00PM, LiveAir will be streaming the “Downtown Cam” – viewing various views down Main Street, the Live music at the Gazebo, and other festivities.
- The pre-parade broadcast will begin at 6:30 PM, with the parade beginning shortly after 7:00PM.
- Immediately after the parade: 1 st Festival of Lights Street Dance Live Stream until Midnight.

Visitors to the site will be able to watch all of the festivities downtown from wherever they are on the Internet. These cameras will capture the excitement associated with the Festival of Lights and provide a new angle to the annual “kick-off” of our holiday season in Smithville. Tell your friends and family far and wide that want to see the festivities – they can watch it from the comfort of their own computer!
After the parade is initially broadcast, you can go back any time and relive the excitement by watching the recorded stream online. The Downtown Cam and Street Dance Live streams will not be available for later viewing.
