Benbrook Tree Lighting Ceremony 2022

The City of Benbrook has a tradition of tree lighting celebrations. 2022 is their 31st year for the festivities. People begin gathering around 5 PM to get the best spots to view the fireworks display. Benbrook Lions Club and BSA Troop 95 offer hot chocolate and candy canes for the crowd to warm hands while waiting. Elves mingle, keeping spirits bright.

 

The primary parking area is the grassy field between 377 and the YMCA. The best spot to see both the tree lighting and the fireworks is from the bleachers in the North baseball field. Plenty of people show up, so make sure and bring a blanket or chairs and make yourself comfortable. Kids can play at the park playground while waiting on Santa.

If you choose not to join the traffic, you can see the fireworks from anywhere near the park.

Santa arrives at about 7 PM to countdown the tree lighting. The fireworks show follows immediately. We were able to capture a video of a part of the fireworks through Facebook Live. We also posted a full event video on YouTube with modified audio to avoid copyright issues. We will put them all here for your viewing pleasure!
