The official lighting ceremony begins at 6:45 p.m. and is only one of numerous events planned downtown for the event, which has been a yearly occurrence the day after Thanksgiving for three decades.

Head to downtown Bloomington Friday Nov. 25 for an annual celebration with music, crafts and more while Santa Claus lights up the square.

People ages 1 to 92 gathered in the courthouse square last Friday to celebrate the “Canopy of Lights,” a tradition that began 35 years ago but was put on hold last year due to the pandemic.
