Seeing the annual holiday Light Show at Mozart’s Coffee Roasters is a tradition we look forward to every winter season! The awesome light displays — along with the hot chocolate and delicious warm treats — make this a holiday experience the whole family will enjoy!

The Light Show will be on display nightly from November 9, 2023 – January 6, 2024. This immersive event also includes live performances by some of Austin’s favorite local musicians, a photo booth to capture your memories, and endless rivers of hot chocolate, tea, and house-roasted coffee.

Because it’s one of the most popular winter events in Austin, the team at Mozart’s offers their light show viewing in four different ways: enjoy a nautical tour with Austin Rental Boats, seated at a table on Mozart’s patio, mingling and dancing from the Bavarian Marketplace (free admission with RSVP) or partying to the Silent Disco during weekends in December.  Read on for details on all the ways for your family to experience this beloved tradition.

Tickets for the Light Show are available now! Here are the details for attending this year:

  • Full-Service Table Reservations: Select your day, time, and table location to enjoy this famous holiday tradition. Pre-order food and it will be ready at your table when you arrive for your show. Four-person tables are $40, and six-person tables are $60. Some select four-person tables are standing-only — be sure to check the seating chart map to know which one you’ve selected.

Good to know: Tickets are per table — not per person. You can’t add extra chairs to your tables, and your whole party must be there to be seated, so please plan accordingly.  Children under 18-months who don’t require their own seat aren’t counted toward your total party number. 


  • Bavarian Marketplace Free Admission: The festival-style Bavarian marketplace is back! This standing-room-only format will allow you to view the show from the elevated parking lot. These tickets are FREE for the community but offered at a limited capacity, so reservations are required. You can choose a time slot for either 6 pm – 9 pm  or 9 pm – midnight. Tickets are per person and not by group.

Good to know: Be sure to have your tickets ready at the market for proof of registration.


  • Nautical Light Show: Board a boat to watch the lights from the water, then take a relaxing cruise around scenic Lake Austin.  Tickets include the boat ride, bottomless hot chocolate, blankets, water, and hand warmers. You also have the option to add fresh baked cinnamon sugar Bavarian pretzels, salt pretzels, Mozart’s Chocolate Fudge Brownies, and Assorted Fresh Baked Christmas Cookies (chocolate chip and sugar) when purchasing your ticket.

Good to know: Tickets are sold per person, with private cruises available. It is also BYOB and you can get more info here.


  • Silent Disco: Dance on a high-resolution LED dance floor right in the parking lot – none other than Taylor Swift’s very own dance floor from her recent North American tour.  Bottomless hot chocolate is included in your ticket purchase.
