City of Lights

If you’re looking for a holiday tradition, bundle up the kids and head to Downtown Nisswa on Friday, November 28, 2025, for our City of Lights Celebration!

We embrace the holiday season with dazzling lights that adorn trees, fences, and buildings throughout beautiful Downtown Nisswa.

The annual event kicks off in the afternoon with photos with Santa, storytelling, delicious food vendors, warm bonfires, hot cider and mini donuts, and cheerful holiday carolers. The littles can share their wishes with Santa, and the whole family can gather to enjoy a spectacular fireworks show lighting up the crisp winter sky.
