The Festival of Lights - Opening Night

November 27th

November 19, 2015
The Riverside Festival of Lights will kick-off with festive activities on Friday, November 27th, 2015 at noon followed by the 23rd Annual Festival of Lights Switch-On Ceremony presented by Duane and Kelly Roberts, owners of The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa at 4:30 p.m.

In one swift move Riverside’s downtown is instantly illuminated with more than three and a half million twinkling lights and spectacular fireworks! The Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce and the Festival of Lights Committee, consisting of community volunteers and local businesses, put in many long hours to coordinate the Ceremony.

The McKintree Boys will be playing just after the Switch-On Ceremony next to the skating rink. Bring your chairs and settle in. We'll be playing three hours of Celtic, toe-tapping rock.
