The Festival of Lights is a magical display of lights with a large festive holiday tree in the middle of the Blue Earth Plaza on display from the Friday after Thanksgiving through the New Year. Watch as the holiday lights dance to the holiday jingles played throughout the plaza, and join your neighbors and Santa the Friday after Thanksgiving to light our 68 foot tall tree during the annual Tree Lightening Ceremony. And, come enjoy the Family Christmas Carnival on Saturday, December 2, and as often as you wish to feel the holiday spirit.
