Joy Benedict reports from the Mission Inn, where thousands of people flocked on Saturday for the much anticipated return of the annual Festival of Lights, which features more than 10 million Christmas lights at the famous Inland Empire landmark.

For the second year in a row, the event kicks off before Thanksgiving with lights, fireworks and performances.

The Daily Press shares an exclusive first look at the Riverside catacombs, now open for the foreseeable future starting in December.
