Austin Trail of Lights

Whether you’re taking your family, entertaining out-of-towners or going with a group of friends, the Austin Trail of Lights at Zilker Park is a must-see, beloved Central Texas holiday tradition now in its 61st year. The spectacle of more than 2 million lights, glowing Christmas trees and other holiday scenes that illuminate the park is open from Dec. 10-23 (see select dates) nightly from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Food trucks, rides, live music and photos with Santa are available for all. Holiday party spaces are also available each night for organizations looking to celebrate in the heart of Austin. To learn more about Trail of Lights check out the Austin Insider Blog.
