Boerne, Texas – The 25th annual Dickens on Main holiday event will take place during Thanksgiving weekend, November 28 and 29, marking the beginning of a series of holiday celebrations in Boerne. This cherished tradition transforms Boerne’s famous Hill Country Mile into a vintage snowy Christmas wonderland, featuring food trucks, unique vendors, carolers, Victorian-themed characters, and street performers along Main Street.
The following weekend, December 5 and 6, Boerne hosts the annual Weihnachts Parade on Saturday, where more than 100 lighted floats make their way down Main Street, and shops stay open late. Friday’s Wassail Walk and Caroling Contest add to the festivities. The celebration continues December 12-14 with KinderFest and the Cowboy Christmas Market in Main Plaza, offering a more relaxed holiday vibe.
Highlights of Dickens on Main include live music and carolers, an ice carving show set to music, roving street performers, a "Birds of Prey" live show by Last Chance Forever, unique Christmas shopping, and countless photo opportunities. The official tree lighting will take place at Main Plaza on Friday night at 6 p.m. Streets close each night at 4 p.m., with parking available on a first-come, first-served basis.
“Dickens on Main is such a special tradition for Boerne. It brings our community together and welcomes visitors to experience the magic of the Hill Country during the holidays. It’s the perfect way to kick off the season with joy, connection and small-town charm,” said Larry Woods, Director of Visit Boerne.
