Zilker Park Trail of Lights!!!
Since this is Texas and it is always hot outside no matter the month, one of the best ways to get into the Christmas spirit is to visit the annual Zilker Park Trail of Lights. This wonderful display of lights is a wonderful way to share the holidays with family and friends while enjoying some of Austin’s finest treasures. Visitors will be treated to a spectacular event along with an opportunity for children to write there very own letters to Santa.
The Trail of Lights will be open Sunday, December 10th through December 23rd from 7-10pm each night. Join the thousands of visitors and enjoy walking through the mile of lighted displays, enjoy the variety of refreshments, food and entertainment. Each night a variety of area entertainers will take the stage and provide families and friends the opportunity for diverse holiday enjoyment. Dancers, musicians, storytellers, choirs, comedians, theatre troupes and more will enliven the night air. We are prepared for cold evenings so visitors can join us for hot chocolate and yule log fires that await you, one near the Zilker Tree and one mid-way through the Trail of Lights.
There is still time to see all this wonderful event has to offer. Monday thru Saturday still has lots of wonderful events that onlookers can enjoy with one another. Oh and I must tell you the most exciting part about this wonderful holiday tradition…. Zilker Zephyr.
The Zilker Zephyr, the miniature train in Zilker Park will provide rides each evening. $2 children (1-11), Adults $3 (12-64), Adults 65 and older $2 and younger than 1 are free (but must sit on guardian's lap). Tickets may be purchased at the train depot (at the Trail of Lights across from the Yule Log by the main entertainment stage). Call 478-8286 for more information.
