Pack up the Thanksgiving leftovers, shorten up that post turkey nap, and head down to the Gene Leahy Mall for an enormous holiday season kickoff on Thursday, November 24^th!

Maggie Winton, Event Marketing Coordinator at Vic Gutman & Associates, spoke with Mike Hogan about this free, family friendly event which hasn’t taken place since 2018. It starts with the Lighting Ceremony at 6:00 p.m. and continues with a free “Making Spirits Bright” concert at the Holland Center which includes vocalists and the Nebraska Wind Symphony at 7:00 p.m.
