The countdown is on for one of the most-loved traditions in the Nisswa Lakes Area—the Annual Nisswa City of Lights Celebration. This magical kickoff to the holiday season feels straight out of a Hallmark movie: cozy train rides, picture-perfect light displays, captivating storytelling, delicious bites from local vendors, warm bonfires, hot cider, and those can’t-miss mini donuts. Strolling carolers set the soundtrack while kids share their wishes with Santa, and the night wraps with fireworks lighting up a crisp winter sky.


Hosted by the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce (big shoutout to their team and local sponsors), City of Lights transforms Downtown Nisswa as buildings and trees along Main Street glow with thousands of lights. It’s community. It’s tradition. It’s the start of the festive season in Nisswa.
