Reliant Lights Your Holidays at AT&T Performing Arts Center

More than 550,000 energy-efficient LED holiday lights, totaling 35 miles in length, will dazzle crowds during Reliant Lights Your Holidays on the AT&T Performing Arts Center campus on Saturday, December 2, 2017.

The Center's Board Chair Matrice Ellis-Kirk; Doug Curtis, president and CEO of AT&T Performing Arts Center; Bill Clayton, Vice President of Customer Care Operations at Reliant; and Delia Prine, Vice President of Programs for The Crowley Foundation, 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.

Those in attendance will be treated to a performance by R&B pop sensation En Vogue and country star RaeLynn. Entertainment is presented by the David M. Crowley Foundation.

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; and cutting-edge speakers from the #hearhere series. 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.
