If you're looking for a holiday tradition, bundle up the kids and head to Downtown Nisswa on November 26 for our City of Lights celebration! We will embrace the holiday season with dazzling lights that will adorn trees, fences, and buildings in beautiful Downtown Nisswa. The annual event begins in the afternoon with cozy horse-drawn wagon rides, photo opportunity with live reindeer, storytelling, delicious food merchants, warm bonfires, hot cider and mini donuts and strolling holiday carolers.
