The Lights of Texas are Upon You

Longhorn Lights: November 18 – January 1

Orange and white lights will once again adorn the UT Austin campus for the annual holiday tradition, Longhorn Lights! This season, Longhorn Lights will illuminate the South Mall, adding a festive glow to the heart of the Forty Acres and framing the Tower in celebration of the holidays. The iconic Tower is in the midst of a multi-year restoration, the first since its installation in the 1930s, and the holiday lights celebrate its importance on our campus.
