MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Holidazzle will return to Loring Park in Minneapolis for the second year in a row, starting the day after Thanksgiving.
The longtime Minneapolis holiday tradition moved to Loring Park in 2015 due to the construction on Nicollet Mall. The 2016 Holidazzle will run Thursdays through Sundays starting on Friday, Nov. 25 through Friday, Dec. 23.
There will be an outdoor skating rink again this year, as well as the Wolf and Moose exhibit, which is designed to remind people to “care for the earth and one another in the midst of the holiday season,” according to a statement.
Admission to the Holidazzle will be free.
