Home for the Holidays Lighted Christmas Trail

Experience the new “Home for the Holidays Lighted Christmas Trail” every day between Nov. 27 and Jan. 1 in Stevenson Park.

Kids should come early in the season and drop off their letter to Santa (including their return address), so they can receive a personal response from the North Pole.

For more than a decade, HomeTown Bank of Friendswood has sponsored Friendswood holiday events. The Home for the Holidays Lighted Christmas Trail is presented by Keep Friendswood Beautiful and the City of Friendswood Parks and Recreation Department.
