And the reason for this is that "festival lights" is plural.

Analogously you could saz "The festival lights BRING hope"

Actually, that's not the reason. You're not using the plural form of "bring" but rather the bare infinitive. This is because it starts with the command "Let" (and it would be the same with "May").

Other examples:

Le
