"Events like this bring our community together, and I can't wait to turn on the Christmas tree lights and see the holiday magic come to life."
The Holiday Lights Festival will feature local artisan vendors for holiday shopping, photos with Santa, train rides, live music, holiday movies, kids craft zones, food trucks, local breweries, and warm beverages to help keep attendees merry and bright.
