About this adventure

Perched over the recessed Woodall Rodgers Freeway connecting Downtown and Uptown Dallas, Klyde Warren Park hosts its annual Tree Lighting Celebration presented by H-E-B and Central Market. The lively family festival features live musical performances, holiday dance excerpts from The Nutcracker, festive character visits from Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph, stilt walkers, face painting, holiday crafts, and visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The highlight of the evening arrives at 6:00 PM with the ceremonial illumination of the park’s towering Mayor's Christmas Tree. Families can enjoy treats from Dallas’s premier food truck fleet and play in the children's park throughout the afternoon.
