The lighting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at Hailey Town Center West across from the Hailey Public Library.

There’ll be complimentary candy canes, hot chocolate and cookies provided by Atkinsons’ Markets. And dancers from Art and Soul Dance Academy, which just opened in Hailey, will provide entertainment.
