Jordan Kahn Orchestra to dazzle crowds after Santa officially flips the switch at 6:00 p.m.

Get your holiday season off to an early start with Vitruvian Lights at Vitruvian Park in Addison! On Nov. 23, Santa will flip the switch to turn on more than 1.2 million sparkling LED lights wrapped around 455 of the park’s trees. The tree lighting happens at 6:00 p.m. On subsequent nights through Wednesday, Jan. 1, the lights will be on from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m.

After the man in red illuminates the night, the Jordan Kahn Orchestra will take the stage. The orchestra is a veteran of Vitruvian Lights’ special event nights and plays a high-energy mix of party hits spanning the decades from the days of the Rat Pack to today’s R&B, along with holiday favorites.

The tree lighting event, which continues until 10 p.m., will feature gourmet food trucks, sweet treats, FREE photos with Santa, live reindeer, letters to Santa with Mrs. Claus, classic holiday characters, an elf balloon artist and more! A new addition to the event for 2024 is a 3D walk-through gift box illuminated with LED lights. It’s perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. 

A second special event night on Nov. 30 will feature the same activities plus a performance by Dallas String Quartet.

Visitors are encouraged to walk or drive through Vitruvian Park to enjoy the beauty of the lights. This is the 12th annual season for Vitruvian Lights, presented by Vitale Plasma Centers and sponsored by UDR and the Town of Addison.

Parking for special events ($15, cash only) is available onsite in lots on Ponte Avenue and Bella Lane, as well as at the Alfred J. Loos Sports Complex.
