Celebrate the holidays at Christmas on the Square 2016! In keeping with the long tradition of this special community event, Christmas on the Square will have its classic attractions with a few new surprises.
In addition to everyone’s favorite snow hills, Garland Water Utilities will sponsor a “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” building area. The first 200 families at the snowman building area will get to create a snowy masterpiece. As always, the attractions are free!
The event will take place in the Downtown Garland Square at Main and Sixth streets from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1. During this time, snow hills, snowman building, photos with Santa, holiday foods, children’s trains, children’s crafts, reindeer and more will be available. The tree lighting will be at 7 p.m., followed by choir performances 7:30 p.m.
Parking for the event is free and will be available at the following locations: Central Library, Senior Center, First Baptist Church on Glenbrook and DART on Walnut Street. For full event details including parking map, stage schedule and event map, visit ChristmasOnTheSquare.com.
