Denton Holiday Festival Association, Inc. The Denton Holiday Festival Association, Inc. (DHFA), established in 1988, is a not-for-profit 501c3 organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. The organization's primary mission is hosting the annual Holiday Lighting Festival. This beloved community event, held on the Thursday following Thanksgiving, includes musical and dance presentations, shuttle rides through the historic district, children's crafts, visits with Santa and a concert featuring Denton's own Grammy award-winner, Brave Combo.

DHFA raises funds from the private sector to purchase holiday street banners, festival lights, and decorations for public buildings and the Courthouse-on-the-Square in historic downtown Denton.
