Where there’s a holiday season, there are holiday lights. Festive displays are popping up around the state, and we sure are excited about it. Enjoying one (or more!) of the many displays is one of our favorite things about Winter!

From Glow at CHS Field to Winter Lights at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to The Spirit of Winter in Waconia to the Bentleyville Tour of Lights in Duluth and everywhere in between, let’s laud these luminary displays with music!
