Arlington's Holiday Lights Parade is a family favorite. The city officially illuminates its Christmas tree and the event provides lots of family activities and entertainment provided free of charge. The celebration includes live music, free carriage rides, face painting and even free photos with Santa. Grab your eggnog and warm coat and get ready for some holiday cheer, North Texas style!
Lake Arlington is a favorite destination for fishing, swimming, water recreation and just having some great fun in the North Texas sunshine. Also, the lake is a favorite of boaters as well; don't be surprised to see some impressive sails in the wind, as sailboats glide through the water, especially on weekends and holidays. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen!
