Take a stroll or a barge ride on the Downtown segment of the Riverwalk and enjoy the lights draped from the tall bald cypress trees that line the banks. In addition, luminarias line the river to commemorate the lighting of the way for the Holy Family. During your walk, you may even enjoy a mariachi or choir singing your favorite carols.

Many buildings decorate their facades or window displays with festive decor. Be sure to catch the Whataburger display, which is always a sight to see. Many of the downtown parks or squares such as Main, Milam, and Travis will also have Christmas lights as well.
