Live reindeer, childrens trackless train rides, Tim the Magician and Butterfly the Clown, "Balloon Lady" Nancy Fangles and much more. The lighting of the "Great Tree" takes place at 6:00 p.m.. Downtown shops will be open late so bring the whole family for a holiday of fun, perfect to start the season off right.
