Trail of Lights is back at Austin’s Zilker Park with millions of lights
It’s the best time of the year — Trail of Lights opens Friday night and runs through Christmas Eve Eve, also known as Dec. 23.
Trail of Lights was not always Trail of Lights. “Yule Fest” was held in 1965 and involved the lighting of a yule log and performances by carolers from local choirs. It was held south of Barton Springs Road by the Moonlight Tower at Zilker Park. Trail of Lights was part of Yule Fest for years to come, according to American-Statesman archives.
