Pharr, Texas – The City of Pharr is excited to kick off the holiday season and invite the community to Winder Wonderland! This festive event features our Tree Lighting event, live music, food, holiday activities, and more! Admission is FREE!

Winter Wonderland takes place on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 6 to 11 PM, in Downtown Pharr (118 S. Cage Blvd). The annual Lighting of the Christmas tree will begin at 7:30 PM.

“I’m excited to invite Pharr’s children to write me a letter sharing why they’d like to help light our city Christmas tree,” said Mayor Ambrosio Hernandez, M.D. “This honored tradition kicks off the holiday season, spreading joy to our entire community and I look forward to reading the letters and sharing this magical moment with the selected participants and our community,” he added. 

Letters will be accepted through November 27, 2024, and can be dropped off at a special mailbox located outside Pharr City Hall.

Join us as well light up Downtown Pharr in an array of colorful and cheerful holiday lights!
