The famous Light the Way Holiday Festival presented by H-E-B, is back at UIW for its 37th year with all the traditions you know and love.

There will be live music, food trucks, Shoppers' Lane, meet and greets with Santa, and of course, a million twinkling lights and fireworks to end the night.

Plus, there’s a bonus. UIW Alumni can also take some respite in our exclusive alumni area. Enjoy a brief hiatus from the festival with live music, complimentary refreshments and activities for the children. 

Please note: Alumni are welcome to bring up to 3 guests with them to this event. When registering, please insert N/A in the field for 'Graduation Year' for guests who will be attending but did not graduate from UIW. Children under the age of 11 do not need to be registered to access this area but must be accompanied by a registered UIW alumni to enter.

Volunteer Opportunities: If you'd like to volunteer to help at Light the Way, please email the Office of Alumni Relations via alumni@uiwtx.edu
