People walk under a colorful, illuminated tunnel with glowing rings in pink and purple. A woman in a coat is in the foreground, followed by others taking photos. The scene is lively and vibrant, highlighting an urban light installation at night.

Some of us remember the Holidazzle old as a parade Downtown. While it hasn’t been a parade for a few years now, it’s still full of fun!

A family stands in front of a large, illuminated hourglass-shaped structure filled with white balls. They are at an outdoor event with festive lights and a crowd in the background. The woman and child are smiling and engaged with the display.

New this year in 2024, Holidazzle will take place at Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, with FREE fun for the whole family!
