This year’s lights on 37th Street event is closed to cars

For this year’s annual holiday lights on 37th Street, residents of Austin’s twinkliest block have partnered with the city’s Living Streets Program to close the street to car traffic during event hours. The Living Streets Program envisions local streets as places where communities can walk, bike, gather and connect. The annual event, which dates back to the mid-1980s, runs along 37th Street between Guadalupe Street and Home Lane from sunset to 10 p.m. until New Year’s Day.
