The Holidays are Coming To Fort Worth's Sundance Square


Sundance Square

Holidays are a special time of the year, and this Christmas, Sundance Square will make it a little more memorable for Texas families. The holiday season will kick off with the arrival of the Sundance Square Christmas Tree on Monday, November 12 at 9 am.

Sundance Square president and CEO Johnny Campbell will be joined by Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price in the annual tradition of hoisting the giant tree, a 56-foot blue spruce from Traverse, Michigan, in the center of Sundance Square Plaza. This year, the tree will stand alone in its grandeur allowing the natural beauty of the tree to command the spotlight. 

Santa Claus will be prominently featured on the Plaza Stage which will be transformed into a winter wonderland with all new décor including a dramatic, silver fabric backdrop, a sleigh backed by beautiful wintry trees and snowflakes hovering from above. The snowflake theme will continue throughout Sundance Square. 

In addition to changes with the tree and Santa Claus, the entire plaza will feature large, brilliantly lit sculptures perfect as the backdrop for photo-ops with family and friends. 

The official tree lighting ceremony, undeniably one of the best in Texas, will take place on Saturday, November 17 with the festivities beginning at 6 pm.

Activities the day of the tree lighting will include Santa Claus meeting families from 11 am – 9 pm, stores open for holiday shopping, and restaurants offering extraordinary holiday menus.

Visitors anxious to make the most of their time at the plaza can enter a virtual line while waiting to see Santa Claus. Upon arriving in Sundance Square, guests can simply send a text to check in at Santa’s Sleigh, allowing them to shop, eat, and relax until it’s time to meet Santa Claus. 

Every year, proceeds from photos with Santa Claus benefit the Fort Worth Sister Cities’  Youth Program. Visits with Santa are $20 (cash only), which includes a photo with Santa who will be in Sundance Square beginning November 17 through December 23. Check www.sundancesquare.comfor specific times.
