Festoon lights, also commonly referred to as outdoor string lights or Edison string lights, have a retro-charm that create a warm, inviting glow and brighten up any space. They consist of many light bulbs along a cable and derive their name from the Latin word for festival (“festum”) and the traditional wreaths hung at celebrations. They have continued to be used at celebrations as well as around the home and businesses.
From gardens and decks to cafe seating and event spaces, they’re a popular choice for good reason. For more detail on choosing festoon lights, check out our blog on everything you need to know about festoon lighting.
