On Dec. 18 Holidazzle will return to its beginnings: Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. The event started as parade in 1992 that attracted more than 750,000 people downtown. In 2016 it moved to Loring Park due to construction on Nicollet Mall, and since the pandemic the event has been on thin ice. In 2023 it was altogether canceled.

The CEO and President of the Minneapolis Downtown Council, Adam Duininck, joined Minnesota Now to talk about the new iteration of Holidazzle and how it fits into the council’s plans to revamp downtown Minneapolis.
