Capture the true spirit of a small-town holiday celebration at the 23rd Annual Holiday Lighting Festival on Friday, December 2nd, 2011 on Denton’s Historic Courthouse Square.
You don’t want to miss the Denton Holiday Spectacular at 8pm featuring Paul Slavens, Sarah Jaffe, members of Midlake, Bubba Hernandez, Steve Wiest, Chris Flemmons and more accompanied by the 11-piece Holiday Lighting Orchestra directed by Denton’s own David Pierce!
Once again the festival will be hosting a toy drive. Toys gathered will be distributed to families needing assistance during the Christmas season in Denton County. A drive-through toy drop-off will be at the southeast corner of the square.
