Highland Village's holiday tradition, Our Village Glows, returns Saturday, Nov. 21, with a free light show and family activities at The Shops at Highland Village.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. at the outdoor shopping center at FM 2499 and Justin Road. There is no set end time, according to the city's event calendar.

The centerpiece is a 35-foot Christmas tree rigged with 150,000 LED lights synchronized to holiday music. The city bills the show as the "Let it Glow! Holiday Light Show Spectacular" on its event page.

Activities on the north patio will run throughout the evening. The lineup includes horse-drawn carriage rides, face-painting, cookie decorating, ornament making, musical entertainment and Santa's arrival. Everything is free.

The event draws thousands, FlomoBee reported, and the shopping center relies on surface parking. Arriving close to 5:30 p.m. helps families beat the crowd.

No tickets or registration are required.
