The Riverside Festival of Lights is On!

The Riverside Festival of Lights is officially on now in Riverside CA. Officially, this year's Festival of Lights display started on November 27th, but it will continue on until January 3, 2010. As usual, downtown Riverside has been transformed between University and Mission into a twinkling paradise, complete with hot cocoa, carolers, vendors, live music and our very own outdoor skating rink. Santa Claus is even available to visit with the kids. The cost for skating is $10 per hour, with a $3 skate rental fee. If you plan on skating alot this season, you can purchase a Frequent Skater Card for $50 which will entitle you to one skate hour per day on Sundays through Thursdays throughout the entire month of December.

My family was out of town last weekend for Thanksgiving, so we missed the official Switch-On Ceremony presented by the owners of the Mission Inn, Duane and Kelly Roberts. But, you can be sure we will be there this weekend. We never miss an opportunity to enjoy the Riverside Festival of Lights. It's a sure bet to get you in the Christmas spirit. And I guarantee I will be taking photos and video to post later. So check back soon.
