"This is really a great, family-friendly opportunity for parents to bring their kids out to celebrate the New Year with music and fireworks, and still have them safely back home and in bed by 9 p.m.," says Doug Curtis, president and CEO of the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

The Center's annual holiday event, Reliant Lights Your Holidays, was originally scheduled for December 3 but postponed due to poor weather.

Entertainment is presented by The David M. Crowley Foundation, and UNIVISION 23 is the official media sponsor. Reliant continues its sponsorship of this signature holiday event, serving as the Official Energy Provider of the AT&T Performing Arts Center. Reliant recently joined with the Center to host PRELUDE: A Preview of Aurora 2017 - Powered by Reliant in the Dallas Arts District.
