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.
