ALL LIT UP: Sights & Sounds of Christmas marks festival's beginning with lighting event

Sights & Sounds of Christmas marked the beginning of the two-weekend festival by lighting City and Plaza parks.

The holiday-themed lights turned on with the flip of the switch Wednesday evening.

“As somebody who grew up in San Marcos here, Sights & Sounds is such an exciting time of the year,” said Stephanie Reyes, Interim City Manager, who was invited to help turn on the lights. “I couldn’t imagine San Marcos without Sights & Sounds. So, this is very, very special to be a part of it in this particular way.”
