Millions of lights cover the Mission Inn and the downtown streets around it, with a seasonal ice rink at Mission Inn Ave and Orange St and Santa's House on Main Street. Local bands perform on the Ben Franklin Stage Thursday through Sunday evenings. For the switch-on, the city advises arriving by 4:30pm.
