Where to See Texas's Best Holiday Lights
A constellation of enchanting holiday light displays glitter across the Lone Star State each Christmas. Here are the brightest and best.
-
1. Galveston
Victorian vintage appeal attends the celebration on historic Galveston Island. Moody Gardens' Festival of Lights involves over 100 different light and sound installations. The island also shines a light on Christmases past through its Dickens on the Strand festival, which features 19th-century oil lamps and carolers in Victorian costume.
-
2. Wimberley
Check out the Trail of Lights Festival in Wimberley, a smaller-scale alternative to big-city light shows. The festivities kick off in November with an inaugural tree lighting event, which opens an illuminated trail across six acres. Blue Hole Park is also aglow with thousands of appropriately aqua lights, and local choirs fill the chilled air with heartwarming carols on evenings.
-
3. Grand Prairie
Just outside Dallas, Prairie Lights Festival presents a two-mile drive and walking trail that winds through increasingly impressive light displays. The culmination of your journey is a laser show and holiday village, complete with all sorts of festive food and entertainment. Don't forget to enroll in one of the gingerbread house–making workshops.
-
4. Marshall
The Wonderland of Lights Extravaganza has been running for around 30 years. Watch as the town is transformed into a twinkling wonderland of winter delight. Special events include the Jingle Bell Run, the carol-backed community Walk to Bethlehem, and the lighted Christmas parade.

2. Fredericksburg
Celebrate Christmas and cultural diversity simultaneously at Fredericksburg. The town's German heritage lends the celebrations character.

Live music provides the backing for gliding on the outdoor skating rink and the consumption of free cookies.
-
3. San Marcos
Children will be enthralled by the sight of thousands of sparkling lights reflecting in the San Marcos River. They can enjoy seasonal games and rides by the river, and visit Santa's workshop, where they'll learn to make their own Christmas gifts.
