Tonight is the opening night parade. Anyone heading down there?

I'm probably going to go through the week when it isn't quite so busy.
The Zilker tree is well worth shooting too

Sounds something like our "Fantasy In Lights" in Georgia.


Fantasy In Lights
One of Atlanta's premier light shows features eight million lights, a Christmas village, and, of course, Santa Claus.


In Short
More than a dozen lighted holiday scenes are set to music, thanks to 444 speakers. The five-mile tour takes about an hour; Christmas enthusiasts drive it themselves or take Callaway's open-air trolley. Two scenes light up Callaway's Robin Lake Beach: "The Night Before Christmas" and "The Nativity" are both light and sound shows, complete with narration, music and choreographed lights.

Scott,

Is that the light display along the road to Pineisle Golf resort? I played there many years ago. There was a major light display but was daytime and I was unable to return after dark.

This display is at 'Calloway Gardens' which in Pine Mountain,GA. about 50 miles south of Atlanta. I believe the Southern Open PGA tournaments has been played there, not sure.

OK, did the obligatory spin under the Zilker tree at the Trail of Lights.
