Holidays on Houston Street
Holidays on Houston Street
Downtown San Antonio will come alive this season with the launch of what will no doubt become a time-honored holiday tradition for residents and visitors. Set against the backdrop of one of the city’s most historic and charming promenades, San Antonio Holidays on Houston Street launches in November and runs through January 2. More than five blocks of Houston Street (from Legacy Park all the way to the Alamo) will glisten with twinkling lights and oversized décor elements, bustle with entertainers and themed offerings from restaurants, shops, and partners along the way. More exciting activities will be announced, and guests will feel as if they've stepped into a charming market. The nostalgia of San Antonio holidays will unfold under the soft glow of Houston Street lampposts, recalling memories of Christmas past, and inspiring the making of new holiday memories for all.
