Nights of Lights

More than a million little white lights outline the bayfront, Plaza de la Constiución, and buildings of the historic downtown for the entirety of the holiday season and beyond. Both sightseeing trams coordinate seasonal festive nighttime tours of the lights, complete with music and special light-viewing glasses.
