Unique Holiday Destinations: San Antonio, Texas

Things to do in San Antonio span the gamut from a hodgepodge of children's activities to plenty of adult festivities. Christmas events at the River Walk, the AT&T Center and many more events within the city also provide plenty of local activities and entertainment during this time. Whether you want to shop, view holiday arts and crafts, or discover something new, this city is the place for all things Christmas.

The always-festive River Walk - festooned with more than 122,000 colored lights and 6,000 luminarias at Christmastime, glitters with art installations like over sized fiberglass fish suspended over the river. A river barge is a scenic way to experience the River Walk, which seems to add more shops, restaurant, and other attractions each year. Shop for colorful folk art and crafts in La Villita, the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, and outstanding museums like the McNay, San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Museo Alameda, a Smithsonian-affiliate Hispanic museum.

Joyous caroling fills the evening air along the San Antonio River Walk as more than 185 school, church, company, and civic choral groups ring in the holidays by singing traditional carols on cruising boats.

Experience the Holiday serenity of the River Walk as you stroll along the lush banks of the San Antonio River guided by more than 6,000 Luminarias. Warmly glowing candles in sand-filled bags line the walkways to symbolically mark the "lighting of the way" for the Holy Family. This century’s old tradition begins at dusk Friday, Saturday & Sunday only.

The Ford Holiday Lighting Ceremony and River Parade is a one-hour event for Christmas fun! You and your children can watch lighted Christmas floats, decadent costumes and hear San Antonio music bands. You will also get to see famous celebrities and much more.
