As the holiday season wraps its festive arms around Dallas, residents can mark their calendars for an event that promises to sprinkle more joy into their winter celebrations. Kiest Park is set to become a hub of holiday cheer with its upcoming Holiday Festival and Tree Lighting, which Dallas Council Members and Park officials are gearing up to host. According to details released by the City of Dallas, the event is not just another tree-lighting affair. It's a trove of family-friendly activities designed to have something for every family member.

The holiday lineup on Saturday includes live entertainment and indulgences like photos with Santa and hot chocolate stations that warm hands. The festivities run from 4 to 8 p.m. Along with soothing sips, the event also touts carnival rides, inflatable fun, and a skateboard demo whose performers, riding alongside excited children, will showcase their skills. The announcement promises local vendors and food trucks to satisfy the taste buds wandering Kiest Park.

The ceremony's crescendo will undoubtedly be the Christmas tree lighting scheduled for 6 p.m. when the festive glow of the holiday spirit will illuminate the park. Dallas Council Member Carolyn King Arnold, District 4, and Dallas Council Member Chad West, District 1, joined forces with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department to officiate the event.

Located at 3080 S. Hampton Road, near the Conservation Area and accessible via Kiest Blvd, Kiest Park is poised to host this extravaganza holiday. Those planning to attend should come warmly dressed and ready for a memorable evening.
