Boerne, Texas, is celebrating the holiday season with a lineup of events designed to attract both residents and visitors to the Hill Country Mile. The festivities began with Dickens on Main over Thanksgiving weekend and continue each weekend leading up to Christmas and New Year's Eve, according to a press release from Visit Boerne.
The first weekend of December features Weihnacht's Weekend from Dec. 5-7. On Friday night, the Wassail Walk and Caroling Contest invites attendees to sample warm winter drinks from participating businesses and vote for their favorite carolers. The highlight is the Weihnacht Parade on Dec. 6 at 6:00 p.m., with 100 floats lighting up the Hill Country Mile. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and explore downtown shops, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries for treats and early holiday shopping.
Kinder Fest Weekend follows from Dec. 12-14, offering child-friendly activities such as a Santa Scavenger Hunt, Ice Carving Show, Santa and Mrs. Claus Meet and Greet, and the Cowboy Christmas Market. For those seeking the best Christmas lights, Boerne has produced an online Christmas light guide highlighting events like the Hill Country Mile, The Jones’ CHRISTmas Ranch, and Boerne Bright.
Boerne's holiday events are part of a broader effort to promote tourism and community engagement. The city's online events calendar lists all activities, and visitors are advised to book lodging early as rooms sell out closer to the holidays. The Visit Boerne website provides travel information on lodging, food, shopping, and activities.
The holiday celebrations underscore Boerne's charm and hospitality, aiming to create lasting memories for attendees. For more details, visit Visit Boerne's Holiday event page.
