Zona Rosa Northern Lights Ceremony :
Zona Rosa kicks off the holiday season with its annual 'Northern Lights' lighting ceremony the Saturday before Thanksgiving. In 2004, Zona Rosa donned it's holiday crown decor--bringing back the Kansas City tradition of large lighted crowns that illuminated KC's downtown streets. The crowns maybe found throughout Zona Rosa's courtyards, and they also have a 50-foot Christmas tree in the Town Square. The Northern Lights event also honors a local individual who performed a heroic act during the year who will flip the switch and light up the whole outdoor shopping and dining area.
