Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'festival' (a public celebration) combined with 'lights' clearly denotes a celebration featuring decorative light displays. This naming pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard noun + of + noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Festival of Lights can also mean a public event where towns fill streets and parks with lanterns, illuminated sculptures and light shows. Because the place is full of bright lights at night, people call it a 'Festival of Lights' to mean a celebration of light and art.
