Weekend Events in Austin

Travis County BROWN SANTA is a community service program of the Travis County Sheriff's Office and the many sponsors and volunteers who make it happen each year.

Please make flameless lanterns! The beauty and magic of this event is in all of contributing our own piece of beauty and light to the whole - hundreds of lanterns coming together under the night sky is truly a beautiful sight!

So you’re all dressed up and wonder where to show off your awesome outfit. There are plenty of events going on in Austin! Click on the photos to link to the event web sites. They are in chronological order.

The AUSTIN TRAIL OF LIGHTS is Austin’s largest holiday tradition and 2nd largest event in the city. Run by the Trail of Lights Foundation, the annual event in Zilker Park celebrates the unique spirit and people that make Austin the place we call home.

Our Christmas Light Show has become an annual tradition for many Austinites. Every year, we decorate the deck with over 1 million LED lights and set up a show to our favorite holiday tunes.

Its that time a year again. Time to dawn our Santa hats, elf ears or in this case our Rudolph antlers! Our Run Run Rudolph Virtual 5k Run is fun for all ages.
