HOLIDAYS IN LAKE JACKSON
FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS & LIGHT UP LAKE JACKSON!
Lake Jackson is the first to bring the Yuletide cheer with its Festival of Lights November 17-20, featuring the 32nd Annual Parade of Lights! Enjoy the weekend but don't forget to enjoy the season too!
Light Up Lake Jackson keeps the holiday season going after the Festival of Lights brings Santa to town!
