WHAT REQUIRES A WRISTBAND
In order for the Holiday Lighting festival to pursue its purpose and put on a fantastic show every year, several of the rides require a $10 or $35 wristband per person (lap children are free).

This wristband provides unlimited access to the following rides:
All Access Wristband:

Winter Wonderland Snow Slide
On-site photograph with Santa
VIP Access Wristband:
Everything in the All Access Wristband
Denton Holiday Lighting Festival official t-shirt
Commemorative ornament of the year
Priority line access and provides unlimited rides
Winter Wonderland at Williams Square
Waltz into a Winter Wonderland behind the Wells Fargo building off the square where a line of food trucks await. Watch your step, the forecast predicts snow in this area atop our twelve-foot-tall snow slide! Visit the Winter Wonderland to relax, take a ride down the slide, ride the trackless train, see your favorite holiday character, listen to some fun music, grab a bite to eat and maybe even find a Christmas present, too!
Toy Drive
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 through Elves Shelves. Toys may be donated to the Elves Shelves truck parked on the square. If carrying a toy with you seems cumbersome, that’s ok! You can donate a toy to a child in need here.
