Holiday Events Near Lake Ridge
Holiday festivities at Prairie Lights
There are several holiday events near Lake Ridge in December, and we don’t want you to miss out on any of the fun, or the opportunity to help someone less fortunate. Mark your calendars and read on!
Lake Ridge’s Charity of The Heart
Like so many North Texans, Lake Ridge is immersed in the spirit of giving. In the past, the community has collected gently used clothing, coats, and food items for local charities, and they are continuing the practice this year. The Property Owners Association of Lake Ridge Board of Directors would like to give back to the community again by showing “Lake Ridge’s Charity of The Heart.” They will be collecting the following items in the Lake Ridge Clubhouse:
- Unwrapped toys for needy children
- Non-perishable food items for the food pantry
- Gift cards to Walmart, Target, Babies R Us, etc.
- Coats and winter wear
- Full-size toiletries (body wash, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, etc.)
- Hand soap
- Paper towels
- Toilet paper
- Resources: Maternity books, books on parenting, devotionals, etc.
- Journals
Anyone who would like to participate in Lake Ridge’s Charity of The Heart can bring their donated items to the Clubhouse at 100 Lake Ridge Parkway by December 18 so they can be delivered to the charities. For more information about Lake Ridge‘s Charity of the Heart, or for information on owning lake property at DFW’s premier lake community, visit Lake Ridge.
Prairie Lights
Make sure you get over to Prairie Lights between now and December 31 for an impressive light display and the can’t-miss Holiday Village. The light show, powered by Gexa Energy, features four million lights along two miles of driving paths. Halfway through, the Holiday Village is the place to find the Light Show Theater and the Lighted Walk-Through Forest, plus gifts and concessions, all hosted by Santa. You can see video of the light show here.
Penn Farm
Visit the historic Penn Farm in Cedar Hill on Saturday, Dec. 18 from 6:30–8pm for a good old-fashioned Christmas. Take a tour of the farm by lantern, followed by a Christmas carol sing-along around the campfire with hot chocolate, hot apple cider, cookies and holiday treats.
Uptown Village
Forget the ice and sleet—Uptown Village has real snow! Come to the Village Green between now and December 21 on Fridays and Saturdays for snow every half-hour from 6:30pm–8:30pm and see Santa! Take a photo with Santa daily through Christmas Eve. And on Tuesdays, December 10 and 17 from 6-8pm, you can bring your dog to the Village Green for Santa photos!
Grand Prairie Holiday Market
If you’re looking for the perfect holiday craft or gift, head out to the Grand Prairie Holiday Market at the Farmers Market on Saturday, December 14 and 21, open from 8am–1pm. This is your last change to hit the Farmer’s Market before it closes for the winter season.
