Addison, Texas -- The most dazzling and spectacular time of the year is nearly here! Vitruvian Park in Addison transforms into North Texas’ most magical FREE holiday wonderland during Vitruvian Lights, when more than 1.2 million sparkling LED lights are wrapped around 468 trees. Beginning Saturday, Nov. 22, the lights will be on nightly through Thursday, Jan. 1. 

Visitors are encouraged to walk through Vitruvian Park to enjoy the beauty of the lights. This is the 13th annual season for Vitruvian Lights, sponsored by UDR and the Town of Addison.

This year, there will be two special event nights that feature exciting concerts by local performers. The first event, the annual tree lighting ceremony, is set for Saturday, Nov. 22, when Emerald City band Limelight will perform for guests. On Saturday, Nov. 29, Dallas String Quartet will perform. Both events, which take place from 6 to 10 p.m., will feature gourmet food trucks, sweet treats, FREE photos with Santa, live reindeer, letters to Santa with Mrs. Claus, classic holiday characters, an elf balloon artist and a supersize LED-lit gift box that makes for Instagram-worthy photos! 

In addition to the two special event nights, Vitruvian Lights Bite Nights will take place on Saturdays Dec. 6, Dec. 13 and Dec. 20, when food trucks will pull up near the park’s Amphitheater to give guests perusing the lights a chance to warm up with food and drink available for purchase.
