Lighted tour, carnival open through Monday

Those who have yet to visit Round Rock’s two newest holiday traditions — a lighted driving tour and a holiday carnival — have until Monday to do so.

The Rock’ N Lights tour and village located in Old Settlers Park ends New Year’s eve.

The light tour contains 2 million lights along a mile-anda-half drive that starts at the north of the park off of Old Settlers Boulevard and exits onto U.S. 79.

Several animated light displays depict city landmarks, including the real Round Rock, the Round Rock Express Baseball Club and more.

The Rock’ N Lights village, located in the Dell Diamond parking lot at U.S. 79 and 3400 East Palm Valley Boulevard, features carnival rides and food.

The tour and village are open from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday.

Admission to the light tour starts at $15 for family vehicles. For more information, go to www.roundrocktexas.gov/ rocknlights.

Families may celebrate the season by watching a free holiday movie on the downtown square, 103 W. Seventh St.

The movie series will feature a screening of the liveaction version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with Jim Carrey at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
