Christmas Parade & Annual Tree Lighting

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and time once again for our Christmas Parade and Annual Tree Lighting! Join us to kick off Christmas on Saturday, December 3, to celebrate the season.

The parade will begin at 6 p.m., with the tree lighting immediately following the parade. Stick around for the best winter fireworks show in Texas and stay for fun and festivities at Lights on The Lake.

On this night, event-goers can purchase $10 wristbands for unlimited access to our Lights on The Lake event, including our holiday light walk-through, Ferris wheel, carousel, and ice skating.

Lights on The Lake runs from November 25-December 27 and features holiday themes each weekend, performers, and the biggest multi-day drone show in Texas.
