## About

The Town of Little Elm's holiday celebration combines a parade and a community tree lighting on The Lawn at The Lakefront, the town's lakeside gathering space on Main Street. The evening runs from 5 to 9 p.m., so families can find a spot for the parade and stay for the lighting of the tree. The town calendar entry links to the Discover Little Elm event page for the full schedule of activities, which could not be opened for this listing; check it for parade route, Santa photos and parking details before going.
