The Valley sure knows how to be festive, and they go all out during the holidays. While there were a few cities like McAllen, that have lit up their trees already, there are still many Valley cities that are having their tree lightings and even some parades this week.
Harlingen
Join the City of Harlingen for the Lighting of the Arroyo at McKelvey Park on Thursday, December 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. The park is located at 1325 S. 77 Sunshine Strip.
