The event began in 2015 and is considered the most incredible festival in the Southwest. It commences with the ceremonial lighting of the holiday tree and San Jacinto Plaza. The opening ceremony includes the Scherr Legate WinterFest Lights Parade and a festive concert. San Jacinto Plaza is adorned with over 500,000 mini-lights, oversized decorations, and a 55-ft holiday tree throughout the season.
