Boerne, Texas, is embracing the holiday season with a lineup of festive events designed to bring together residents and tourists. The celebrations began with Dickens on Main over Thanksgiving weekend, transforming the Hill Country Mile into a winter wonderland. The holiday spirit continues each following weekend leading up to Christmas and New Year's Eve.
The first weekend of December features Weihnacht's Weekend, December 5-7. Friday night kicks off with the Wassail Walk and Caroling Contest, where visitors can enjoy warm winter drinks from participating businesses and vote for their favorite carolers. The highlight is the Weihnacht Parade on December 6 at 6:00 p.m., featuring 100 floats lighting up the Hill Country Mile. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and explore downtown's shops, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries for treats and early gift shopping.
From December 12-14, Kinder Fest offers child-friendly fun, including a Santa Scavenger Hunt, Ice Carving Show, 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 to top displays such as the Hill Country Mile, The Jones’ CHRISTmas Ranch, and Boerne Bright.
A full list of holiday activities is available on Boerne's 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 for all things Boerne, including lodging, food, shopping, activities, and events.
