First, the Thanksgiving lighting festival near Gene Leahy Mall was canceled due to construction.
Then, the Holidays in the Old Market kickoff scheduled for Tuesday night was called off because of the snow.
But there’s still plenty of time to see the lights in the Old Market — they will stay up until Jan. 5.
On Saturday, the historic district will have elf readings, treat and gift specials, free rides from Ollie the Trolley, tours and other activities in conjunction with Small Business Saturday.
The Old Market light display is from 10th to 13th Streets and from Harney to Jackson Streets.
