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! 

The Yuletide program that stepped in when COVID shuttered Festival of Lights in 2020 comes back as a new tradition to keep the spirit of the holidays ringing throughout our community, Brazoria County and beyond!
