Wake up Riverside! It’s Good Morning America!

Riverside gets an early morning wake-up call Friday, courtesy of ABC-TV.

Sam Champion, the weather reporter for "Good Morning America," will broadcast live from the city’s Mission Inn Hotel and Spa between 4 to 6 a.m. (7 to 9 a.m. EST). The show will celebrate the Inn’s 15th Annual Festival of Lights and will be the highlight of GMA’s week-long series "Good Morning America Lights Up the Holidays."

Everyone is invited to come and cheer for Riverside to a national audience in front of the Mission Inn. GMA broadcasts to roughly 7.5 million viewers every day. The anchors in New York will break away occasionally throughout the two hours to come back to Riverside for Champion’s weather updates and stories on the city, including a live lighting of the festival lights.

Mission Inn Avenue, between Main and Orange Streets, will be closed off during the pre-dawn broadcast hours. Free regular coffee is being given out by the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf from 3:30 to 6 a.m. and the city will provide cinnamon rolls and reusable "green bags" to the first 200 to arrive.

The Festival of Lights began Friday and will continue until Jan. 1 with more than 3 million lights illuminating the city’s downtown.
