History
Highland Park became an upscale Dallas enclave in the early 20th century; its historic homes and wide boulevards now form the backdrop for a long-running holiday lights tradition.
Conservation
Large holiday displays increase energy use and light pollution; opt for tours that encourage LED lights and respect private property by staying on public sidewalks.

Layer for warmth
Temperatures can drop quickly after sundown—wear insulated layers and a windproof outer layer under the provided hoodie blanket.
Bring a phone grip or strap
Lights and low light mean frequent photos; a secure strap prevents drops during short stops and while mounting/dismounting.
Use closed-toe shoes
Streets can be wet or slick; sturdy footwear improves pedaling stability and comfort during photo breaks.
Plan for limited stops
The route includes curated photo pauses but not long exhibitions—set expectations for quick, frequent stops rather than extended visits.

Retains body heat between stops despite the provided hoodie blanket.
