FORT WORTH, Texas – The yuletide season tradition that is Gift of Lights at Texas Motor Speedway celebrates its 12th year with the annual Thanksgiving opening night kickoff to 39 days of one of the Lone Star State’s largest holiday light shows.
Beginning Thanksgiving Day, November 25, through Sunday, January 2, families will enjoy two miles of light displays throughout the speedway. The display is open every day during that time period, including Christmas Eve and Christmas day, from 6-9 p.m. (Sunday-Thursday) and 6-10 p.m. (Friday & Saturday).
A $1 donation from each ticket sold benefits Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas Chapter.
Drive-through guests will be captivated by the more than two million (2,000,000) lights spread across the circuit, the result of more than 1,100 man-hours of setup by holiday display giant Winterland, Inc., the company responsible for similar light shows at the speedways in Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Charlotte, New Hampshire, and Phoenix. The in-vehicle event has always been socially distanced so guests’ safety will be seamless.
Santa’s Village returns to Gift of Lights at Texas Motor Speedway with games and activities for the kids, as well as food and beverages. Santa will be in town until December 25 (he’ll be a bit busy that day) for photographs starting at $15. Ice skating will not be a part of this year’s festivities.
