My children and grandkids were in town this past weekend, and we exhausted ourselves checking out many of Galveston’s annual holiday events. And, as you might assume, Moody Gardens’ Festival of Lights was at the top of our list of must-do activities.

The Festival of Lights takes visitors around the Moody Gardens property and by the shores of Galveston Bay on a one-mile trail. The pathway features festive holiday scenes at each and every turn - all brilliantly illuminated with more than one million lights and accented by the delightful sounds of holiday music.

The Festival of Lights also features Galveston’s only outdoor ice skating rink, food and drink vendors , and live music on multiple stages.

The weather on the night we went to see the lights was perfect. Skies were clear, and the temps were only slightly chilly. Like many others, we donned our “ugly” Christmas sweaters and left the winter coats, hats and gloves at home!
