Douglas Council will dip into reserves to pay for decorative lighting on the promenade sea wall.
The £40,000 project was originally planned to be funded from a street lighting revenue budget - but that no longer exists.
The LED lights will illuminate 28 artworks along the wall.
Chair of the Environmental Services Committee Falk Horning told Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper the lights will be marine grade:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
