Holidays in the Highland Lakes are celebrated with parades, including a Lighted Hooves and Wheels Parade, and snow days, even when temperatures are seasonably warm. Just about every town has its own way to start the Christmas season. Mark your 2022 calendar and make them all.

CHRISTMAS PARADES

At 5:30 p.m., the Clickety Cloggers entertain the crowds waiting for the Lighted Hooves and Wheels Parade, which begins at 6:30 p.m. Look for the Blanco County Queen's Court float.

Noon Saturday, Dec. 10

Burnet's parade is at noon and begins a day of holiday festivities during Christmas on the Square, including a snow play area, vendor booths, and live entertainment.

SNOW DAYS

1-9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10

Badu Park

300 Legion Drive in Llano

It’s Texas, so the snow has to be made — but it’s real snow and it’s real fun. Buy a wristband for all-day sledding at Llano's Snow Day.

Noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10

Courthouse square in Burnet

No matter the temperature, it’s going to snow on downtown Burnet during Christmas on the Square. A snow machine will make enough of the cold stuff for sledding, snow angels, snowball fights, and more. Bring an extra set of clothes for the kids. It melts quickly!
