The best parts of the holiday season are the festive events and family gatherings that bring everyone together to celebrate as a community. And what better way to enjoy time with your loved ones than by participating in local events?
With holiday spirit at an all-time high, many people are excited about the fun events Round Rock has planned for the 2024 Christmas season. Some key events include Light Up the Lake, Hometown Holiday, and the Holiday Art Pop-Up Show.
Starting with Light Up the Lake, this three-day event will be held at Old Settlers Park from December 2 to December 4. The festival takes place around the lake, offering a stunning light show for all to enjoy.
“I went to a light show in Round Rock when I was 10 years old. It was very pretty, and now it’s a core memory that I still remember vividly to this day,” shared Riley Wahl, a sophomore at Meridian World School.
Hometown Holiday is another exciting event, featuring a month-long display of holiday lights and decorations in Downtown Round Rock. Running from December 1 to December 31, it’s the perfect way to create lasting memories with your loved ones.
Finally, the Holiday Art Pop-Up Show will take place on December 18, 2024, in Downtown Round Rock. This event will showcase a variety of unique and creative art pieces available for purchase. Artists will be on hand to display their hard work, offering visitors the opportunity to support local talent and take home something special.
“As someone who loves art and even paints for fun, the Holiday Art Pop-Up Show sounds like an event I’d enjoy. It’s a great way to support fellow artists and get into the holiday spirit,” said Cylee Dhond, a senior at Meridian World School.
With the Christmas season just around the corner, it’s important to celebrate in ways that go beyond simply curling up by the fire. By supporting our local community and spreading holiday cheer, we can create a spirit that will uplift us all this winter.
