60 Years of Magic: Austin Trail of Lights Fun Run 2024!
The other morning, I was reading Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP post about holiday events in Flower Mound, TX, and the Gift of Lights at Fort Worth Texas Motor Speedway. It reminded me how fortunate we are to have so many festive traditions to enjoy this time of year! One of our family’s favorites is the Annual Austin Trail of Lights, and this year’s event is extra special—celebrating 60 magical years!
We’ve already secured our Fun Run tickets for Saturday, December 7th, and we couldn’t be more excited. Our family will be running in Wave 2, kicking off at 6:45 pm in beautiful Zilker Park. This marks our third year participating, and it’s become a cherished tradition. My daughter-in-law kindly volunteered to pick up our shirts and bib numbers, so we’re all set to hit the trail!
A Celebration of Joy and Wonder
The Trail of Lights never fails to inspire awe and delight, especially when shared with my grandkids, Hudson and Beckett. From the moment we step onto the illuminated path, we’re greeted by whimsical light displays and creative scenes that spark joy and wonder.
One of the highlights of our evening? The Ferris wheel! With shorter lines during the Fun Run, we always make time for this ride. There's nothing quite like the breathtaking view of Austin’s sparkling skyline from above—it’s a sight to remember.
And of course, no trip to the Trail of Lights is complete without standing beneath the iconic Zilker Park Tree.
This towering wonder features 39 streamers adorned with 81 multicolored bulbs each, crowned by a magnificent 10-foot double star.
It’s a true showstopper that leaves us in awe every year.
A 60th Anniversary Surprise
Back in June, I shared a fun post about a Mr. and Mrs. Santa sighting at Barton Springs Pool. They were in town early for free photo sessions, courtesy of the Trail of Lights, during Austin’s July 4th celebration. This special 60th anniversary year has brought plenty of surprises, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store during the Fun Run!
Don’t Miss Out!
Tickets are selling fast, and it’s no wonder—this year’s Austin Trail of Lights promises to be one for the history books. If you haven’t snagged yours yet, now’s the time! Gather your family and friends, visit the website, and join in the celebration of 60 years of holiday magic. See you on the trail!
