This year’s holiday celebration commemorates Mozart’s fourth decade in Austin with a special tribute to the Central Texas community we proudly call home.

You’ll experience a unique twist on classic holiday markets featuring charming wooden chalets, engaging activities, delectable sweet treats, savory Salt Lick BBQ and Mozart's renowned hot chocolate. With over a million twinkling lights, these brilliant displays will provide endless photo opportunities!

We will present live entertainment throughout the 5 ½ week festival, showcasing classical favorites including Texas and Celtic Christmas music, performances on our one-of-a-kind, light-up Steinway piano and some special surprise acts! This year there will be new small-group experiences available on Lake Austin that include: enchanting Lake Austin boat cruises for up to 22 guests, guided donut boats and private immersive light "euro igloos" for groups of up to 10. These new offerings are perfect for enjoying the holiday splendor, with packaged tasty treat options to complete your evening in lights.
