Are you looking for a little magic this holiday season? The historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside kicks off its annual Festival of Lights on Friday, November 27th. As a gift to the community, Duane and Kelly Roberts, owners of The Mission Inn, will illuminate their landmark hotel with more than three and a half million brilliant lights and over 400 animated Christmas figures. Downtown Riverside is also participating in the festivities with a Christmas Event featuring ice skating under the stars, horse-drawn carriage rides, live entertainment, spectacular fireworks and of course, Santa Claus. Mission Inn Festival of Lights has been a spectacular Southern California holiday tradition for the last 17 years.
