The Treats
While the lights are the main attraction, the experience doesn’t stop there. Mozart’s offers a variety of holiday-themed treats that will delight your little ones. From hot cocoa to festive pastries, the tantalizing array ensures there’s something for everyone. You must try the hot cocoa, hot pretzels, and cookies! There are also a few spiked drinks, tamales, Salt Lick BBQ, and more!
Photo Ops
We love the vibrant photo opportunities at Mozart’s! They are all super fun and festival and bright.
Is it worth it?
Mozart’s Holiday Light Show is a holiday tradition that brings joy to countless families every year. The combination of a captivating light show, delicious treats, and the warm ambiance makes it a must-visit destination for families seeking festive fun in Austin. If you haven’t yet experienced the Holiday Lights Show at Mozart’s, this season is the perfect time to start! I would definitely recommend that you try it at least once if you never have. I don’t think it’s one of those events you need to do every year, but it’s fun to go back every few years or so. Some people love going yearly as an annual tradition. We loved the addition of the boats this year and the rooftop igloos also make it a magical experience (especially if it’s a super cold night). We also enjoyed watching the movies out on the water!
