Peppermint Parkway

Peppermint Parkway transforms Circuit of The Americas into a dazzling winter wonderland! Explore a stunning mile of holiday lights with playful characters, themed villages, and festive displays. This year’s event features a walk-through experience for even more magic and memories.

• Stroll through millions of twinkling lights and meet whimsical holiday characters like dancing gingerbread men and roller-skating snowflakes.
• Stop by Peppermint Plaza for delicious seasonal treats, amusement rides, and lively activities for all ages.
• Snap a photo with Santa (for the little ones—or just the young-at-heart!), and shop gifts and holiday swag at the all-new Holiday Market.
• Brave the COTA Candy Cane Cruise for a parade lap on the city’s famous Formula 1 track.
• Take in panoramic views of the holiday magic from atop the 251-ft high COTA Observation Tower.

This festive celebration brings the spirit of the holidays to life with joy, laughter, and plenty to see and do—from Wonder Woods Christmas tree giveaways to live music and holiday caroling. Don’t miss Austin’s sweetest holiday tradition!
