Geocache Description:

Come outside and enjoy some crisp fall air and the sights and sounds of Christmas.


Come out and twirl underneath the Zilker Tree.

We will meet at 5:15pm,under the center of the tree. The event will be over at 5:45pm.

Zilker Park brings in lots of people, so please plan ahead and expect traffic. There will be people directing traffic and telling you where to park. The parking is on a grassy field, so low clearence sports cars are not the best option. And best to leave those high heels at home as walking across the field could be rough.

The Zilker Tree stands 155 feet tall and is composed of 39 streamers, each holding 81 multicolored, 25-watt bulbs - totaling 3,309 lights. At the top of the tree, a double star measures 10 feet from point to point. The double star displays 150 frosted bulbs. This unique spiral pattern of lights was created by City of Austin electricians. At its circumference, the tree measures 380 feet. The diameter is 120 feet. The base of the tree is made up of 19 utility poles, each 14 feet tall, arranged in a circle around the Moonlight Tower. 

There will be food vendors on site. The music starts at 5:30pm.
