Local mall adds entertainment to the holiday shopping rush

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - From now through the New Year, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the holidays while knocking a few gifts off the big shopping list.

The Shops at Wiregrass have just opened their Symphony in Lights. It's an optical overload of lights and all things Christmas.

More than 250,000 lights are set to twinkle to the music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

You can see the musical magic each night from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

On the weekends, there's a special opportunity to give back to local charties.

Each week, the Shops at Wiregrass will feature a different charity. Vendors will sell light-up star pins. The proceeds from those pins will benefit the weekly charity.

There's also a synthetic ice rink, perfect for Florida kids with dreams of a winter wonderland.
