About this adventure
Attracting more than 750,000 visitors annually, Christmas in the Square is the largest choreographed holiday light and music display in North Texas. Spanning several city blocks along Coleman Boulevard, more than 180,000 LED lights dance, twinkle, and flash in sync to high-energy holiday soundtracks broadcast over street-side speakers and transmitted directly to car radios at 107.3 FM for drive-in spectators. The holiday festival features North Texas’s only real outdoor ice rink, 'Skate the Square,' an open-air ice-skating experience where kids and adults can glide under the Texas stars. Additional family attractions include horse-drawn carriage rides through the square, visits with Santa Claus, and magical simulated snow flurries that float down from overhead snow machines every 15 minutes on Friday and Saturday evenings.
