The City of Redlands will again light up the holiday season when members of the Redlands City Council throw the switch to light the Historic Downtown and Redlands Civic Center with holiday lights.

The ceremony will take place at Ed Hales Park, at 5th and East State streets, at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 17, but the fun starts even earlier, beginning at 5 p.m. with live music, free hot cocoa, a bounce house, painting and crafts, photos with Santa Claus and his sleigh and more.

At 6 p.m., members of the City Council will flip a switch, lighting the holiday tree and all of East State Street from Orange Street to Redlands Boulevard in the Historic Downtown area.
