Add to your holiday season with three weekends of free fun at Holidazzle in Loring Park!
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!
Once again in 2022 the festivities will take place at Loring Park in Minneapolis, with FREE fun for the whole family!
