Winter & Christmas Holiday Experiences in San Antonio

The San Antonio River Walk glows with almost 200,000 lights and festive music fills the air. Natural Bridge Caverns' Christmas at the Caverns features a walking trail of lights, ice skating, a reindeer maze, s’mores stations, and carolling inside the famous cave network’s spectacular natural ‘Ballroom’ cavern.

The Historic Market Square becomes the heart of San Antonio's tamale season as La Gran Tamalada returns, offering workshops, food vendors, live music, and tamales to sample throughout the weekend. A timeless San Antonio tradition, La Gran Tamalada is a celebration of heritage and hands‑on culture.
