Mozart's Coffee Roasters' Festival of Lights is a lakeside display featuring synchronized holiday music and more than 2 million lights.
According to Mozart's Coffee Roasters, synchronized displays and experiences take place throughout the campus. The coffee shop describes the festival as an annual tradition and a glowing celebration of the season at its lakeside location, per the same source.
The festival's entertainment includes sing-along Christmas classics alongside a Broadway-style live holiday revue that weaves together Christmas classics with the story of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, per Mozart's own event page.
The 2025 Festival's Overhaul
Heading into the 2025 season, Mozart's remodeled the festival with a theatrical Nutcracker fire show, sleigh photos with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, a second floating tunnel of lights, and private party igloos, according to CBS Austin.
Mozart's describes a 210-square-foot Austin-inspired LED wall as a larger-than-life centerpiece and says Santa and Mrs. Claus make special guest appearances on select nights.
Where to Find It and What Could Change
CBS Austin reported that the 2025 festival took place at Mozart's waterfront campus at 3825 Lake Austin Blvd in Austin.
Last year's festival ran from November 22 through January 3, breaking only for Thanksgiving and Christmas, with $3 general admission covering access to The Enchanted Forest, the Nutcracker Fire Show, holiday photo opportunities, and the lower deck wrapped in lights, while boat cruises, igloo experiences, and VIP deck sections carried additional charges, per CBS Austin's coverage of that run.
