AUSTIN, Texas — Austin's Trail of lights has been canceled for Thursday, Dec. 22, due to forecasted freezing temperatures and single-digit wind chill.

Ticketholders will be refunded, a spokesperson for the event said.

The event will be open on Friday, Dec. 23 with an adjusted gate close time of 8:30 p.m. All ticketholders are recommended to wear multiple layers and to focus on covering their hands, face and head. 

Heavy rainfall from Monday forced the Trail of Lights to also cancel its festivities on Tuesday night as well. Organizers announced the decision Tuesday afternoon, citing heavy rain and a lack of drying conditions at Zilker Park.    

Due to the saturation, the City of Austin closed the park on Tuesday and canceled events to prevent safety risks and protect against park damages.

The event went ahead on Wednesday night, but on-site parking remained closed due to conditions.

According to Trail of Lights, ticketholders to for canceled nights will receive information regarding their refunds.
