达拉斯 Samuell Farm 首办驾车赏灯展：展期至1月3日，一英里路线布满彩灯
位于德克萨斯州达拉斯县梅斯基特市、由达拉斯市公园与休闲局运营的 Samuell Farm，今年首次举办驾车式假日灯展 The Light Park。达拉斯市11月6日宣布，灯展自即日起开放、持续至2027年1月3日，为这座占地400多英亩的历史农场增添一项新的假日活动。
据市政府介绍，灯展路线长约一英里，沿途有数以百万计的彩灯、假日音乐、大型灯饰与主题假日场景，游客可坐在车内沿路欣赏一段沉浸式的假日故事。达拉斯公园与休闲局局长 John D. Jenkins 表示，Samuell Farm 是全州游客一处目的地，The Light Park 是农场首次举办这类活动，也是该局为农场引入新点子的又一尝试。2024年，这座农场曾举办为期三天的日食节，吸引数千人到访。
达拉斯公园与休闲委员会第七区代表 Daniel Wood 是把灯展构想引入该局的推动者之一。他表示，希望驾车穿行 Samuell Farm 圣诞彩灯能成为家庭年年期待的假日传统，并为公园带来更多收入支持。
Samuell Farm 由达拉斯市拥有和运营，是该局屡获奖项的「户外探险」项目所在地，全年提供露营、生存技能、皮划艇、射箭、山地骑行与自然摄影等活动。这片土地由达拉斯医生兼慈善家 W. W. Samuell 博士捐赠400多英亩给市政府，要求保留作公共用途；达拉斯市1981年将其建成一座先锋农场。该农场还是德克萨斯州首个获全球 Leave No Trace 组织认定的「无痕山林金标准」地点。

Samuell Farm Welcomes First-Ever Holiday Light Show, Running Through January 3
Samuell Farm, a 400-acre historic farm in Mesquite, Dallas County, Texas, operated by the Dallas Park and Recreation Department, is hosting a drive-through holiday light show for the first time. The City of Dallas announced on November 6 that The Light Park runs from November 6 through January 3, 2027.
The show features a mile-long drive-through route with millions of lights, holiday music, large displays and themed holiday scenes, along with an immersive holiday story that guests can enjoy from their vehicles. "Samuell Farm has so much to offer. It is a destination for people from across the state to come here throughout the year. The Light Park is the first event of its kind to be here and another way we are bringing new ideas and events to the farm," said John D. Jenkins, director of the Dallas Park and Recreation Department. In 2024, thousands visited Samuell Farm for its three-day solar eclipse festival.
Dallas Park and Recreation Board Member Daniel Wood, the District 7 representative who helped introduce the concept, said he hopes driving through the Christmas lights at Samuell Farm becomes a holiday tradition families look forward to each year, while generating additional revenue to support the park.
Owned and operated by the City of Dallas, Samuell Farm is home to the department's award-winning Outdoor Adventures program, offering camping, survival skills training, kayaking, archery, mountain biking and nature photography year-round. Dallas physician and philanthropist Dr. W. W. Samuell donated more than 400 acres to the city, asking that the land be preserved for public use; Dallas developed the property into a working pioneer farm in 1981. Samuell Farm is Texas' first Leave No Trace Gold Standard Site designated by the global Leave No Trace organization.
