On the evening of Thursday, November 17 the Rose District will come alive with holiday spirit. With the official lighting of the tree and Main Street, the Rose District and its merchants will be celebrating the start of the holiday season with live music from Grady Nichols and his band, horse-drawn carriages, an open ice rink, and Santa Claus himself! This year’s festivities will be bigger than ever with characters from Inspyral Circus and more walking Main Street. Look for our Snow Queen & King, the Nutcracker, and Magic Circus Elf!
