The University of Texas at Austin once again invites the community to celebrate the season with Longhorn Lights, the annual holiday light show made up of nine miles of orange and white twinkling lights.

First held in 2023, Longhorn Lights will illuminate the South Mall with more than 400,000 burnt orange and white lights, with the Tower twinkling in the background each night. 

Join special guests and student organizations for the Tree-Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday, November 18 at 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM. Holiday treats and cheer will be available for all!

Wow, looking forward to seeing a nice BIG tree on the South Mall!

Hi John, that's right! We're excited to bring Longhorn Lights to the heart of campus this year.

Moving to the South Mall this year? So no lights will be set up along The Drag and the West Mall?
