The annual Vitruvian Lights is set to brighten the holiday season. On Nov. 23, 2024, this magical display featuring over 1.2 million twinkling LED lights across 455 trees will kick off the holiday festivities.

1. Where It Is

Vitruvian Park is a multi-family, retail and commercial development in Addison. The light show itself will take place at the park, located at 3875 Ponte Ave.

2. When To Visit 

Beginning Nov. 23, tree lights will be on daily from 5 to 11 p.m. The event will run until Jan. 1, 2025. Guests can enjoy the free lights nightly, but the park will host special events on Nov. 23 and Nov. 30. 

3. Listen To Live Music

On Nov. 23, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., enjoy a performance by the Jordan Kahn Orchestra. Then, on Nov. 30, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Dallas String Quartet will take the stage, offering a unique blend of contemporary electric and traditional strings.

4. Bring The Kids And Pets

The festivities offer a variety of holiday delights for all ages! Savor treats from gourmet food trucks, enjoy free photos with Santa, and meet his live reindeer. Kids can write letters to Santa with Mrs. Claus, mingle with classic holiday characters and marvel at the creative skills of an elf balloon artist.  

Vitruvian Lights is pet-friendly! All pets are welcome, but they must be properly leashed and cannot be unattended.
