Austin Trail of Lights

For 62 years, Austin has celebrated the holidays in Zilker Park. Now it's bigger than ever, with more than 2 million lights and new surprises every year. In keeping with tradition, General Admission remains free to the public for seven of the fourteen nights, ensuring that everyone can experience the magic of this festive celebration. Start your night by entering through the iconic lighted tunnel and make your way down Candy Cane Lane. Grab a bite from one of Austin’s favorite food trucks, warm up with cocoa, then head to the North Pole for free photos with Santa. Stop along the way to roast s’mores, take a spin on the carousel or Ferris Wheel, and catch local entertainment.
