drive-byneighborhood
Grand homes and towering illuminated trees light up this historic Oak Cliff neighborhood, which decorates its traffic islands in a coordinated theme each year. Parts of the area overlook the downtown Dallas skyline, and the Bishop Arts District is nearby for dinner afterward.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Dallas is around 5:23 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.
