Downtown Holiday Lights & Delights

DSA’s holiday celebrations have brought joy to the heart of downtown for more than 30 years. In 2024, we’re bringing back a few favorite traditions and adding some new experiences to help you create lasting memories for the whole family.

The merrymaking kicks off on Friday, Nov. 29 when we light up the downtown sky at the spectacular Tree Lighting Celebration and fireworks at Westlake Park. Throughout the season, enjoy photos with Santa, family-friendly entertainment, holiday concerts, a sparkling musical light display and the return of our pop-up ice skating rink. Best of all, every event is open to the public and completely free, thanks to support from sponsors and Metropolitan Improvement District downtown property owners.
