π Circle C Neighborhood (Slaughter Lane & Bungalow)
πWhat you should know:
π This is a house in a neighborhood! Please be respectful, careful, and aware. Drive slowly, park and walk up, and stand on the sidewalk (donβt go into their yard)!
πThe exact address isnβt given out, but itβs very easy to find. They are right across the street from a park in the Vintage Place area.
π° Itβs free to see the lights/decorations, but consider donating to their Venmo (@diagonalleyatx). All proceeds go to local charities.
π§They have been decorating their house to look like Hogwarts for Halloween for years and they leave everything up and switch it over to look like the Yule Ball for Christmas. They took a break last year but this is usually an annual tradition.
β° The lights will be on hopefully shortly after Thanksgiving (check their Instagram page @diagonalleyatx or their Facebook page for updates. The lights will be on 6-8pm weekdays and 6-9pm weekends. The lights are timed with music during certain times. The light show schedule will be announced soon but will most likely begin at dusk and go every half hour until 8pm (weekdays) or 9pm (weekends).
