Now that the rain has paused, San Antonio can get back to our regularly scheduled holiday celebrations! This week, we are taking the family out to Christmas Light Fest to see the more than two million lights sparkling along a two-mile path. If that doesn’t revive our Christmas spirit after all that rain, I don’t know what will.
At the Christmas Light Fest, you will also find Santa’s Village, a marketplace featuring free pictures with Santa, food, fun and gifts. The 2016 event is currently open nightly through December 31st, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy the perfect holiday evening with their family and friends.
There are two options to enjoy Christmas Light Fest: drive through the ranch grounds and take in the festive displays from the comfort of your own vehicle. Tickets are $27 per vehicle to tour the ranch.
OR
Experience the picturesque setting ranch-style, catching a hayride to tour the lights. Hayrides are $15 per rider and must be purchased in advance online. Onsite parking is free. Private hayrides are also available by reservation, so gather your friends and family for a unique holiday get-together. Let Christmas Light Fest do the driving while you create unforgettable holiday memories with your loved ones.
Tickets may be purchased online at www.sanantoniochristmaslightfest.com. For event updates, follow Christmas Light Fest on Facebook/ChristmasLightFest, on Twitter/SALightFest, and on Instagram/ChristmasLightFest.
