The MSU Texas campus transforms into a festive holiday atmosphere each holiday season with the lighting of the annual MSU-Burns Fantasy of Lights. One of the largest displays of its kind, the Fantasy of Lights serves as an outreach to the community and a focal point for holiday activities in North Texas. Filled with individual displays that showcase characters from well-known children’s stories, fairy tales, and holiday themes, the Fantasy of Lights is a nonprofit enterprise that relies exclusively on the generous donations and volunteerism of the MSU and Wichita Falls communities. fol.msutexas.edu
