Thank you so much to all the participants for entering and brightening the holiday season in Fridley. Our judges have gone out and winners have been crowned, now it’s time for you to get out and see the lights yourself! The winter lights tour can be enjoyed in may different ways but we encourage you to take the full tour which will take you approximately 1.5 – 2 hours depending on how long you stop and admire the lights.
There three different ways for you to navigate your way around Fridley to admire the lights:
