Walkway of Lights plans Friday opening

The Walkway of Lights will shine for another year in Marble Falls, starting with an opening this Friday, Nov. 21, and continuing through Jan. 1, 2015, at Lakeside Park.

Hours for the walkway will be from 6-10 p.m. each night.

The community's annual “Christmas Light Up Parade,” will serve as a kick-off to the Walkway. It will progress down Main Street and wind its way to Lakeside Park.

As the city's only parade besides the annual Marble Falls Rodeo Parade, it is expected to draw large participation, including some 45-50 clubs, churches, organizations and businesses who light up their entries and don festive outfits to spread holiday cheer to spectators, said Julia Adams, events coordinator at the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce.

Where it ends along the banks of Lake Marble Falls, The Walkway of Lights will bid welcome to visitors with an estimated 2 million lights – many shaped into the form of 230 holiday-themed sculptures, whose effects are doubled with reflections off the nearby water.
