The United Way of Abilene and Christmas Décor by Lone Star Electric along with over 1400 volunteers want to thank the Big Country for making the inaugural Winter Lightfest a huge success!
In the 19 nights that the park was open in 2019, over 42,000 guests from all over Texas and the U.S. enjoyed Winter Lightfest’s unique displays containing more than one million lights. As a result, we are pleased to announce that Winter Lightfest’s inaugural event will provide over $150,000 in direct support to our 27 partner agencies that make West Texas such an amazing place to live!

Who We Are
The second annual United Way of Abilene Winter Lightfest presented by Christmas Décor and sponsored by the Dian Graves Owen Foundation promises to be BIGGER and BETTER in 2020! While several of the crowd favorites from last year are making their return, we are excited to dazzle you with new sites and sounds of the season.
*NEW LOCATION* We are thrilled to announce, we have a new home! The Winter Lightfest trail is a ¾ mile walking trail with iconic displays and breathtaking light features in beautiful Centennial Park in Abilene, Texas. Centennial Park is located on East South 27th Street between Maple Street and Oldham Lane.
Bundle up and enjoy the beautiful nature in Centennial Park as you stroll through the tree-lined paths lit with thousands of twinkling lights and breathtaking animated displays! Stop in Christmas Village for refreshments and activities. Listen to the joyful sounds of local choirs and music groups as you travel the trail. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture your family at our several photo ops.
