With the holiday season in full swing, more and more events are cropping up on calendars across Minnesota. But there is one event that you just shouldn’t miss.

Despite the name change and new location, this magical holiday tradition is just as fun as it’s always been. Here’s what’s in store for this year’s Holidazzle:
