Pioneer Avenue in Agassiz is set to be all aglow with holiday cheer once more.
Winter Night Lights launches Dec. 13 (from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) and Dec. 14 (2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.), officially kicking off a seasonal lights display in Agassiz. Holiday lights will be on display all along Pioneer Avenue, on the historic Aberdeen Building, in Pioneer Park and at the Agassiz-Harrison Museum.
