More than 550,000 energy-efficient LED holiday lights, totaling 35 miles in length, will dazzle crowds during the Reliant Lights Your Holidays event on the AT&T Performing Arts Center campus on Saturday, December 5, 2015.
Mayor Pro Tem Mónica R. Alonzo, the Center's Board Chair Matrice Ellis-Kirk and Bill Clayton, Vice President of Customer Care Operations of Reliant, and other dignitaries will flip the switch to illuminate the display of lights across the Center's campus and its 43 trees in Sammons Park. That will also ignite a spectacular fireworks display over the Center.
The lighting display is a continuation of the three-year sponsorship by Reliant at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. The lights will remain on throughout the holiday season.
Those in attendance will be treated to performances by The Polyphonic Spree, Bubba Hernandez y Los Super Vatos, the cast of the Broadway musical Jersey Boys, and a spectacular fireworks display. Entertainment is presented by the David M. Crowley Foundation. Santa Claus will also be available for free photos.
The schedule is as follows:

The AT&T Performing Arts Center is a nonprofit foundation that operates and programs a 10-acre campus comprised of three premier performance venues and a park in downtown Dallas. Opening in October 2009, the Center has helped complete the 30-year vision of the Dallas Arts District.
Audiences enjoy the best and most recent from Broadway and off-Broadway; the finest dance companies from across the globe co-presented with TITAS Presents; top concerts and performers with Center Presents; cutting-edge speakers; and a five-year initiative to present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. The Center also offers free programming for audiences from every part of the community and produces the expansive, biannual light-based art event Aurora across the Arts District. Thousands of students explore and more deeply experience the arts through the Center's education program, Open Stages. Working with local service agencies, the Center provides free tickets to underserved individuals and families through Community Partners. These programs are made possible by the ongoing support of donors and members.
