SEE THE SIGHTS 

Stroll our city sidewalks and enjoy the sights! Many buildings will dress up in holiday style, and of course, you can't miss the Fort Worth Community Christmas Tree in Sundance Square Plaza. This year's 65-foot Norway Spruce evergreen has arrived from Michigan and is adorned with ornaments painted by local artists. 

Interact with the “Singing Trees” in Burnett Park

Experience this interactive light installation in Burnett Park! Lights in the trees illuminate and change colors as it reacts to nearby sounds. Make the trees "sing" with light as you sing, clap, talk, and play instruments. Come on down and let 'em hear you! Learn more here.
