🎉 NOON YEARS EVE DANCE PARTY + PARK 🕺🏻
📍 The new Cedar Park Public Library
425 S Parkwest Dr, Cedar Park
📅 Tuesday December 31
⏰ 11am-noon
🛝 Play at the brand new playground next to the library, then join the dance party inside the brand new library! Recommended for ages 2-12.
✨ LAST CHANCE ✨
See these 2 Austin lights displays before it’s too late!
🌟Luminations at @wildflowercenter
📍 4801 La Crosse Ave, Austin
📅 Ends Jan 5 (closed on Jan 1)
⏰ Entry from 5:45-7:45pm (closes at 9am)
🎟️ $18-28
🚗 Onsite parking is $25. You can also take your chance with free street parking or take the free shuttle from St. Augustine’s University.
⛺️ New this year: explore Fortlandia while you’re at Luminations! This essentially makes your ticket a “two-for-one”! 🙌 My boys loved climbing the forts at night.
🦽Jogging strollers are ok! Gravel path.
🧙See @diagonalleyatx for the last time ever!
📍 Circle C Neighborhood (cross streets are Slaughter Lane and Bungalow)
🏠 This is a house in the neighborhood that does an extravagant lights display in the theme of the Yule Ball at Hogwarts. Every Harry Potter fan should see this before they close!
📅 Last night is Jan 1!
⏰ Display is lit from 5:30-9
🎟️ Free to see but please consider donating!
🚗 You can drive past the house if you don’t want to get out and walk up. We parked down the street and walked up to get a better view and avoid the heavy traffic.

🍜 Make-Your-Own-Ramen Cafe
📍 @kramyuncafe
1821 S Lakeline Blvd STE 102, Cedar Park, TX
🍜Do your kids love ramen as much as mine do? This charming little store/cafe has a wall of ramen packets you can try! You grab the noodles you want and some toppings and make it all yourself.
🔥 Pro tip if you have a kid who is sensitive to spice, even the mild flavor ramen could be too spicy. Only add half of the flavor packet to make it less spicy!
📸 Don’t forget to take cute pictures at the Photo Booth in the back and hang a copy on the wall! ✌️
