Fort Worth families can start their holiday celebrations early at Tanger Outlets, where a series of festive events will run from late November through December. The shopping center’s annual Holiday Lights Celebration begins Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., showcasing more than 25,000 sparkling lights, a dedicated Kids Fun Zone, and live entertainment designed to bring the community together.
Holiday Market Showcases Local Artisans
Following the lights, the Holiday Market opens on Saturday, Nov. 21, and Sunday, Nov. 22, then returns from Friday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, Dec. 13, each day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Shoppers will find a curated selection of local makers, crafters and small businesses offering unique jewelry, home accessories, specialty foods and more. The market provides a platform for regional entrepreneurs to connect with families looking for one‑of‑a‑kind holiday gifts.
Santa’s Schedule and Photo Opportunities
Santa Claus will make regular appearances at Tanger Outlets throughout the holiday season. He will be on site Nov. 27‑29, Dec. 4‑6, Dec. 11‑13 and Dec. 18‑24. Families can snap photos with Santa from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. behind a Tommy Hilfiger backdrop, except on Dec. 24, when Santa will begin his deliveries early at 4 p.m.
Early Black Friday Savings
Before the holiday festivities begin, shoppers can take advantage of Black Friday deals all month long. Tanger Outlets launched early‑access discounts online and through the Tanger app, offering 25 % off top brands for a limited time. The promotion encourages early holiday shopping while supporting local retailers.
Community Focus
“More than a retail destination, Tanger Fort Worth is a gathering place at the heart of the community, bringing people together to celebrate the season, create meaningful memories and enjoy experiences that extend beyond the shopping trip,” the center said in a press release. The events aim to foster family togetherness and support local creators, aligning with the community‑first values that residents cherish.
Visitors are encouraged to check the Tanger Outlets website or app for the latest event details and any updates to hours or programming.
