MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Holidazzle will return to Loring Park in Minneapolis for the fifth year in a row, starting the day after Thanksgiving.
This year’s Holidazzle will bring back annual favorites such as the free Mpls WinterSkate ice skating rink, Fulton Beer Garden and the fireworks show on Fridays.
Holidazzle Movie Nights will also return, featuring holiday favorites Elf, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, The Grinch (2018), Miracle, Polar Express, Smallfoot and Christmas with the Kranks.
Of course, there will be plenty of local food and drinks—including Thursday Nite Bites and Sunday brunch offerings.
NEW THIS YEAR
Among the new things to see and do this year are pop-up skating performances at the ice skating rink, an illuminative art installation, glass blowing demonstrations, cooking demos, an expanded Kids Zone and story time sessions with local authors and Santa.
