There is no denying that the pandemic has made this year’s holiday festivities very different, as people attempt to self-isolate and prevent the spread during the winter months. Yet, pandemic or not, there is one tradition that many people can still safely enjoy this year: holiday lights displays, which have fortunately always been outdoors. If you’re interested in visiting San Antonio’s best displays, here are 3 of our favorite options.
The San Antonio River Walk Christmas Light Display
849 East Commerce Street

One of San Antonio’s most famous attractions gets the holiday treatment during the San Antonio River Walk Christmas Light Display! Now through January 13th, go check out the River Walk all lit up with over 100,000 lights, which are draped over the River Walk’s famous bald cypress trees.
