We started with a groundbreaking for Surf & Swim at Audubon Park, followed by a ribbon-cutting at our new Street Department Facility, more shovels in the dirt to kick off the Naaman School Road project, and finally a traditional hose uncoupling ceremony at our new Fire Station 6. | City of Garland, Texas Government | Facebook

NOW it feels like a holiday! Though Christmas on the Square is behind us, the Downtown area remains festive with the tree lit nightly, the ice skating rink open until Jan. 3, and the Texas Tamale exhibit at 200 N. Fifth St. anytime City Hall is open through Jan. 3 (the Downtown Square in Legos creation is also right there in the City Hall lobby). Of course, storefront windows remain decorated and there are several other events on the Downtown agenda throughout the holiday. Go to Visit Garland, T
