## About

Mozart's Coffee Roasters on the shores of Lake Austin presents one of Central Texas' most cherished holiday traditions with its world-famous Christmas Light Show. Over 1.5 million brilliant LED lights dance across custom lakeside light canopies, floating illuminated arches, and the multi-tiered lakeside deck, choreographed to high-energy holiday symphonies and contemporary seasonal hits. Families gather on the outdoor wooden deck overlooking the peaceful water to sip artisan Bavarian hot chocolates, signature spiced coffees, and warm apple ciders, accompanied by giant fresh-baked German pretzels, cinnamon rolls, and holiday brownies from the in-house bakery.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Upper deck areas and the standing Bavarian market have paved ramp access. Due to stepped multi-level redwood decking, compact strollers or baby carriers are recommended for ease of movement.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Restrooms with baby changing stations are situated inside the cafe building. Heated patio seating areas provide comfortable respite during cool lakeside evenings.
• Age Suitability: Delightful for all ages, from infants enchanted by dancing jewel-toned lights to grandparents soaking in the scenic Lake Austin vistas.
• Sensory Tips: The 15-minute choreographed light shows occur every half hour with flashing LEDs, immersive sound, and simulated snowfall bursts. Children sensitive to loud sound or bright flashes do well with noise-reducing headphones or viewing from the elevated upper patio.
