CHILDREN'S PARADE PRESENTED BY AEP TEXAS
Santa and the Parade will begin at I37 and Shoreline and travel South in the Northbound lane of Shoreline Boulevard and end at the Water’s Edge Park. The spectacular view of the Bayfront makes watching the parade even more delightful. The entries will be judged and special awards will be presented later in the evening.
CHILDREN'S GIFT OF LOVE GIVEAWAY
All children are invited to play the game of bingo and enjoy an evening of fun, refreshments, and entertainment. Children play a game and have an opportunity to win gifts. The child is able to select a donated gift of choice to give to their mother, father, brother, teacher, or any person in their life they choose. The gift is then wrapped by volunteers and placed in a bag for the child to take home to place under the Christmas tree! This beautiful display of giving shows children a lesson in giving to others and sharing during Christmas. For it is far better to give than to receive! Children have an opportunity to learn to give a gift of love!
CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY AREA
We provide face painting and holiday activities for enjoyment. Children will be assisted by numerous volunteers in writing postcards to Santa, making holiday greeting cards, and many crafts. Santa always shows up to say a special ‘hello’ to the children.
CHILDREN'S FUN ZONE

ENTERTAINMENT STAGE

CEREMONIAL LIGHTING OF THE TREE
Harbor Lights wouldn’t be complete without the Tree of Lights. Santa’s Snowball Express Motorcade will arrive in grand style led by festive twirlers and ending with the guest of honor–Santa Claus. The motorcade will travel down Shoreline Boulevard to the lighting ceremony. Santa, along with several special guests of honor, flip the switch and the lighting of the Tree of Lights officially begins the holiday season.
