Rather than a December event, this free winter festival kicks off on New Year's Eve with a fire-breathing dragon at Tollefson Plaza and carries the sparkle into January. Light art installations spread through downtown Tacoma and the Hilltop neighborhood.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Tacoma is around 4:20 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 4:56 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 33°F, so dress for standing around outside.
