The Nisswa City of Lights tradition will be altered a bit this year for COVID-19 safety.

The 38-year-old tradition of locals and tourists walking among the streets as the city filled with joy, lights, and fireworks has been swapped out with a drive-thru setup. People now wishing to attend the event will do so social distantly in their vehicles.

The event kicks off at 5 PM Friday, Nov. 27.
