ROCHESTER MN HOLIDAY LIGHTS GUIDE

A beloved holiday tradition is to bundle the entire family into the car, pack some snacks and hot chocolate, and drive around to look at Christmas lights. This year, it seems that so many people wanted to bring the Christmas cheer after a few tough years that the light displays are bigger and brighter than ever!
