Of its seasonal functions, the Festival of Lights is well known for its nearly three million Christmas lights, and over 400 animated figures. Although the Festival lasts all throughout the holiday season, the day after Thanksgiving is the lighting ceremony. On this day city officials and the owner of the hotel, Duane Roberts, give speeches before fireworks light up the sky and nearly 25,000 people attend annually to view the unique hotel and its holiday decorations. During the festival of lights, decorations such as musical angels, carolers on the balconies, and a Santa Claus climbing the chimney are featured.
where is the best place to watch the lighting ceremony?

Best spot is probably at Mission Inn and Orange. A stage is set up there. You might not want to be right next to the Mission Inn as the building can block the fireworks. Large crowds so come early to find parking.
