10th Anniversary Event
light up the highlands
Each year, the Lake Highlands Junior Women’s League kicks off the holiday season with a completely free community event known as Light Up the Highlands! We are proud to welcome the community to come together and enjoy a big countdown to lighting up our Christmas tree while also enjoying other activities for the whole family. Thanks to our local business sponsors, we are happy to host a snow luge, ice skating, a 360 photo booth, local performances, and of course, pictures with Santa himself! In 2022, the League also introduced the Christmas Market, which hosts local businesses within our community.
Support the community by providing non-perishable food items to the Reverse Food Truck! The Reverse Food Truck is an outreach of NorthPark Presbyterian Church, which seeks to reduce food insecurities in Dallas by collecting donations, both non-perishable and monetary, for our community partners like Vickery Meadow Food Pantry. If you and your family plan to join us for Light Up the Highlands, make sure to bring any donations from your pantry to help our neighbors in need!
We are so thankful for your support! Please consider contributing to Light Up the Highlands this holiday season!
