Christmas is coming: This Wednesday the annual Winter Lighting Ceremony will make it official as Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and other city brass flip the switch and set the town ablaze.

The ceremony is set for 6:00 p.m. to  6:45 p.m. in Nicollet Commons Park. The glittering display will include over 200,000 mini lights, 230 streetlight snowflakes and a 30-foot-tall tree. The ceremony, which is sponsored by the Burnsville Community Foundation, will also feature entertainment by local youth choirs and free holiday goodies.
