Riverside’s Festival of Lights is more than just a gazillion lights and creepy animatronic figures–downtown is transformed into a winter wonderland of ice skating, vendors and live entertainment.

The Dares will perform at the Festival of Lights on Sunday, Dec. 8, near the ice-skating rink.

The spirited pop-punk band has been working on a new album, too.

8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, Main Street Pedestrian Mall, Riverside, free, all ages.

The band filmed PE Live with us earlier this year. Watch the band perform “Wake Up.”
