Thanks to the generous support of dozens of local businesses and individuals, STARS at the Trail brings the magic of the Austin Trail of Lights to nonprofit organizations across the city.
The STARS at the Trail program was created to ensure that those people in our community, who may not otherwise have the opportunity, are given a magical holiday experience tailored exclusively for them. Since 2013 STARS at The Trail has worked with over 100 local non-profit organizations to bring over 20,000 individuals to the Trail of Lights including children, families, seniors and veterans.
Austin-Area nonprofits are invited to enjoy the Trail of Lights through the STARS at the Trail program. Apply to join before October 16.
