At Riverside Homebuilders, we know how special it is to make holiday memories in a place you love calling home, so read on to see some of the best holiday events you can enjoy near your new home in DFW.
The Dallas Holiday Parade is a cherished tradition that brings the holiday spirit to life in downtown Dallas each December. This year, the parade will take place on Saturday, December 7 with the seating and standing areas opening at 7am and the parade beginning at 9am. For 36 years, this parade has marked the official start of the holiday season, and with incredible floats, marching bands and festive performances, the parade transforms Commerce Street into a winter wonderland for everyone watching.
From November 1 until January 5, Arlington becomes the place to be if you’re looking for the ultimate light display. The Light Park is a dazzling drive-thru experience with a mile-long immersive show full of millions of vibrant, twinkling lights. As you make your way through this display, you’ll find the world’s longest light tunnel, and adding even more magic to your evening, you’ll be able to listen to a perfectly curated holiday broadcast as you drive.
The Holiday at the Arboretum is a tradition you can’t miss this holiday season. Located within the stunning Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, this event transforms the grounds into a magical destination, and this year, the celebration is even more special as it marks the 10th anniversary of The 12 Days of Christmas exhibit. The life-sized displays are beautifully illuminated, creating a captivating experience for visitors of all ages. Adding to the charm, the Arboretum’s beloved Christmas Village makes its return, bringing to life a holiday market with delightful shops, twinkling lights and warm holiday treats.
During the Christmas season, there are some classic shows you can always count on to lift your spirits, but if you’d like to try and see something new this year, the Cirque Musica Holiday Wonderland should be first on your list. Coming to the Will Rogers Memorial Center on December 28, this awe-inspiring production combines acrobatics, aerial feats and beautiful live music. This is a one-of-a-kind experience that promises to leave audiences of all ages mesmerized, making it the perfect way to wrap up your holiday celebrations.
