San Antonio's holiday magic is a balance of tradition and modern sparkle. It's the best place in the south to spend Christmas, according to Southern Living.
The winding San Antonio river becomes a glittering ribbon of light and color. This year, 1.8 million LED lights along the River Walk --- a twentyfold increase -- will shine through New Year’s Day.
During December weekends, including the weekend of the championship, you'll be able to enjoy more holiday traditions along the San Antonio River Walk.
School, church, corporate and civic choral groups sing traditional holiday carols on barges that cruise the river. Bell choirs, folk groups and Latino ensembles add to the eclectic mix, and visitors from all over the world often join in from along the River Walk for a charming impromptu sing-along. If you're so inclined, rent a barge and throw your own party for up to 20 people.
One of San Antonio’s most beloved and centuries-old holiday traditions is to line walkways with luminarias – warmly-glowing candles set in sand-filled bags. They symbolically mark the “lighting of the way” for the Holy Family. The Ford Fiesta de las Luminarias along the River Walk uses more than 6,000 luminarias to create an unforgettable scene of peace and serenity along the river’s lush banks at dusk on weekends in December.
These are just a few of the highlights -- there are dozens more ways to celebrate the holiday season in San Antonio.
