Holiday Lights on the River Walk

The famous holiday lights on the River Walk will turn on this year on November 29, 2024, at our Annual Ford Holiday River Parade and will remain on from dusk to dawn nightly through January 5, 2025 (at dawn). Our Annual Ford Holiday River Parade kicks off the holiday season and is the official televised lighting ceremony at Arneson River Theatre. Join us for this festive event Friday, November 29, 2024.

We invite you to experience the spectacular display of over 100,000 lights (2,250 strings of light) draped over the towering bald cypress trees that line the River Walk.

Visiting the River Walk to enjoy the spectacular holiday lights is free. The River Walk is a public park open every day of the year, 24 hours a day. Holiday lights are on the downtown portion of the River Walk. 

Check our Events page for other events that coincide with the holiday lights, such as the Ford Fiesta de las Luminarias and Ford Holiday Boat Caroling.
