Festival of Lights
Celebrate the holiday season with the Mission Inn
For over three decades, The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa's Festival of Lights has captivated the hearts of the Inland Empire Southern California community and is a cherished holiday tradition, earning the title of "Best Public Lights Display" by USA Today. Year by year, the festival's popularity grows, attracting an increasing number of visitors to The Historic Mission Inn.. Celebrated annually from late November through early January, the event features over 10 million twinkling lights, festive decorations, and a variety of family-friendly activities. Highlights include the grand switch-on ceremony, live entertainment, food vendors, and opportunities for photos with Santa Claus.
“We are thrilled to welcome guests back to the Festival of Lights for another unforgettable holiday season,” said Kelly and Duane Roberts, Keepers of The Mission Inn. “For over 30 years, this event has been a celebration of community, tradition, and the magic of the holidays. Each year, we are inspired by the joy it brings to so many, and we are proud to continue this cherished tradition that brightens Riverside and brings people together from near and far to experience the wonder of The Mission Inn."
