Frisco families looking for a safe, weather‑proof way to enjoy the season can now head to Riders Field for the return of The Light Park. The drive‑through attraction transforms the stadium’s parking lot into a mile‑long corridor of millions of LED lights, glowing trees and moving sculptures that dance to a holiday soundtrack.
Details and Dates
The show runs nightly from November 6 through January 3. Weekday hours are 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.; on Fridays and Saturdays the lights stay on until 11 p.m. Thanksgiving Day and the period from December 18 to December 26 also enjoy the extended schedule. From December 27 to the final night, the park closes at 10 p.m.
How It Works
Visitors remain inside their vehicles for the entire experience. As cars move through tunnels of color, drivers are encouraged to turn off their headlights and keep traffic flowing. The display is synchronized to a radio broadcast on K‑GLO, billed as the North Pole’s No. 1 hit station. DJ Polar Ice mixes classic holiday songs with upbeat beats, turning the drive‑through into a rolling festive party.
Pets are welcome as long as they stay inside the vehicle, making the event family‑friendly for all ages. Because the lights are viewed from the safety of a car, guests stay warm and avoid the cold‑weather crowds that often accompany foot‑traffic festivals.
Ticket Information
Presale tickets are $29.99 per vehicle and are available until November 5. After the presale, tickets can be purchased at the gate, though prices may increase. Families are advised to arrive early, especially on weekends, to secure a spot in the line.
Other DFW Locations
The Light Park is not limited to Frisco. Similar drive‑through displays are also set up in Arlington and Mesquite, giving residents across the Dallas‑Fort Worth metro area multiple options for a holiday outing.
Why It Matters to the Community
In a time when many families seek low‑cost, low‑risk activities, The Light Park offers a simple, affordable way to create lasting holiday memories. The event supports local businesses by drawing visitors to the area and provides a safe, socially distanced environment that aligns with community health priorities.
