A Beloved Holiday Tradition Featuring Family Activities and Santa’s Arrival
The Shops at Highland Village invites the community to celebrate the start of the holiday season at Our Village Glows, an annual tree lighting celebration held in partnership with the City of Highland Village and the Highland Village Women’s Club.
Guests are invited to experience an evening of holiday magic in The Backyard, featuring live musical entertainment, horse-drawn carriage rides, face painting, cookie decorating, ornament making, and Santa’s grand arrival by firetruck.
The event will feature the lighting of The Shops’ dazzling, new tree at approximately 6:30 PM (this is an estimate, the time could change), followed by a performance by the Whitney James Jazz Quartet playing timeless holiday favorites.
Attendees can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win festive gift baskets, local gift cards, and the opportunity for one lucky family to join Santa on stage to light the tree. All proceeds benefit the charitable initiatives of the Highland Village Women’s Club.
The Highland Village Police Department’s “Stuff A Cruiser” initiative also kicks off during the event. Guests are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy or non-perishable food item to donate at the police cruiser near Ben & Jerry’s.
