It's the Holiday Season, and one fun thing to do is to go see all the great Christmas Decorations. But, where to go? Here is our guide:
- Start with the San Antonio River Walk - the lights are up and the crowds are in a festive mood. Stop for dinner at one of these great restaurants. From December 4 - 20, you'll see the Fiesta de las Luminarias. If you like music, go between December 2 - 20 for the Ford Holiday Boat Caroling. More than 185 school, church, company and civic choral groups participate each year.
- Drive by the University of the Incarnate Word to see nearly a million lights, just North of downtown on Broadway at Hildebrand.
- The City of Windcrest near IH-35 at Walzem, has sponsored a lighting competition for decades. This year's theme is "Sleigh Bells and Cowboy Boots".
- North of Windcrest, out IH-35 to the intersection with Loop 1604 takes you to The Forum at Olympia Parkway . Some of the neighborhoods immediately behind the Forum are giving Windcrest a run for the money.
- If you have time to drive up IH-35 past New Braunfels, Santa's Ranch has one of the best drive-thru displays with animated figures and over a million lights. For $28+ tax for a carload, it is a delightful mile-long trek through a fantasy of holiday fun. You can purchase hot cocoa and kettle corn, too.
