After the lighting ceremony, the 155-foot Zilker Holiday Tree can be visited nightly in Zilker Park through New Year's Day. Visitors can walk under the spiral of lights around the Moonlight Tower. Parking is first-come first-served on paved lots; weekends are busier because of general park use and Trail of Lights patrons. Alcohol, vending, amplified sound and drones are prohibited without permits.
