Christmas at Kingwood, the annual celebration of the holidays at Mansfield’s amazing Kingwood Center Gardens, continues through December 30 with displays, lights, music, workshops, and more that will delight the eyes and ears.
Thousands of lights decorate the grounds and walkways leading to the decked halls of a Kingwood Hall decorated by partnering garden clubs and volunteers, to displays of decorated trees and wreaths, and to magical outdoor light displays.
