Downtown Festival of Lights

The wintery sky downtown will transform into a wonderland this Friday, when North Boulevard sparkles with half a million Christmas lights. Experience the magic beneath the 35-foot Christmas tree in North Boulevard Town Square. Kids can enjoy free ice-skating and play in six tons of real snow at the Snow Village. Roaming performers will be on hand, including a balloon artist, stilt walkers and more. You can also visit Santa’s Gift Shop and listen to holiday music during an evening of visual and performing arts. Downtown businesses will offer holiday open houses and art showings. 4 p.m.-9 p.m., free and open to the public. Click here for more information.
