A holiday getaway excites souls young and old, but planning can be stressful and time-consuming. So put down your pens and let those woes melt away, as Marble Falls has winter covered in a snow of festive events and attractions to beat that Texas heat.

Walkway of Lights:

The Walkway of Lights is back for its 32nd year here in Marble Falls! Heralding holiday tidings, this free event showcases more than 350 sculptures and 2 million lights. Walkway of Lights is a cherished community event held annually since 1990, taking visitors on a magical light-filled stroll along the banks of the Colorado River. While many will be enchanted by the lights reflecting off Lake Marble Falls, visitors may also see and visit jolly Santa and his band of elves.

On the shores of Lake Marble Falls, Lakeside Park hosts 43 days of twinkle and shimmer. The light show begins on Nov. 18, and visitors tour until Dec. 31.  The trail will be available from 6 p.m.–10 p.m.
Walkway of Lights is funded entirely by donations, and visitors will have the option to contribute toward another year of  Christmas lights. This pet-friendly event takes about 30 minutes to complete, and food stalls are available throughout the walk.
