Lights of Esperanza

An estimated 1,500 attendees witnessed the illumination of more than 30,000 twinkling lights across campus during the Lights of Esperanza event on Tuesday evening. The enchanting annual holiday celebration combined the symbolic history of holiday lighting with newer holiday traditions spiced with an A&M-San Antonio flair. Guests enjoyed a choir performance by University Voices, refreshments, gliding across the skating rink, whizzing down the snow slide and playing in the snow playground.
