The hill country town of Boerne, Texas, is embracing the holiday season with a lineup of events designed to bring the community and visitors together. Thanksgiving weekend initiated the festivities with Dickens on Main, which transformed the Hill Country Mile into a winter wonderland. The celebrations continue each subsequent weekend leading up to Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Weihnacht's Weekend, scheduled for December 5-7, kicks off with the Wassail Walk and Caroling Contest on Friday night. Attendees can sample warm winter drinks from participating businesses and vote for their favorite carolers. The highlight of the weekend is the Weihnacht Parade on December 6 at 6:00 p.m., featuring 100 floats along the Hill Country Mile. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or explore downtown Main Street's shops, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries for treats and early gift shopping.
Kinder Fest Weekend, from December 12-14, offers child-friendly activities including a Santa Scavenger Hunt, Ice Carving Show, a meet-and-greet with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and the Cowboy Christmas Market. For those seeking the best Christmas lights, Boerne provides an online Christmas light guide featuring events like the Hill Country Mile, The Jones’ CHRISTmas Ranch, and Boerne Bright.
A complete list of holiday activities is available on the Boerne Online Events Calendar. Visitors are advised to book lodging early, as rooms sell out closer to the holidays. Visit Boerne’s website offers travel information on lodging, food, shopping, activities, and events.
