Celebrate the Season at A Garland Christmas on the Square
Downtown Garland transforms into a holiday wonderland on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 5–9 p.m., when A Garland Christmas on the Square returns with festive attractions, immersive experiences, and holiday magic for all ages.
This year’s centerpiece is the Joe Vega – Winter Wonder-Rave, where acclaimed electronic music tastemaker Joe Vega brings an energetic, Christmas-themed EDM set to a glowing, interactive light-up dance floor. It’s the most joyful dance party of the season—and it’s free to enjoy.
Families can meet Santa, arriving early at 4 p.m. for photo ops before the event officially begins. Two real reindeer and a holiday sleigh add a storybook touch to the Square, while kids can take a ride down the snow hill or explore festive inflatables, photo spots, and hands-on activities.
Just steps away, visitors can lace up their skates at Garland Square on Ice, the real-ice outdoor rink open throughout the season. Whether you're skating under the lights during Christmas on the Square or coming back another day, the rink brings classic winter magic to downtown Garland.
The celebration also features an Olympian ice-skater showcase from Ashley Cain, Ana the Elf sightings, food trucks, Urban Market vendors, a toy-drive drop-off, and activations from local City departments and community partners. With free entry, convenient parking and shuttle options, and downtown restaurants and shops within walking distance, it’s the perfect way to kick off your holiday traditions.
