The 16th annual Magnificent Mile Lights Festival presented by Harris kicks off the holiday season on November 17 with a star-studded lineup to entertain all ages. The Harris Stage along The Magnificent Mile will host such big names as KT Tunstall, Sister Hazel, High School Musical star Corbin Bleu presented by Radio Disney, Ralph's World and Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players. This is the biggest and best all-star cast the festival has seen yet, and it's all free!

On top of A-list live performances, Mickey Mouse and his pals are in town direct from The Year of a Million Dreams celebration at the Walt Disney World(R) Resort. The entire family will enjoy a day filled with exciting activities, including the evening lighting procession in which Mickey will magically illuminate over one million lights on 200 trees along The Magnificent Mile.
