The stately mansions of this Park Cities enclave put on some of the metroplex's grandest displays across roughly 20 blocks, with Beverly Drive a standout street. Paid horse-drawn carriage tours through the lights are also offered.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Highland Park is around 5:22 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:50 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 36°F, so dress for standing around outside.
