Tried-and-true Tradition: San Antonio River Walk (pictured)
Along the San Antonio River, downtown
The city’s most famous attraction really shines this month, with 120,000 lights, carolers serenading from boats, and color
(even more this year thanks to the new 1.3-mile extension). The El Mercado area, just five minutes by foot, was put on this
earth for Christmas shopping (from maracas to hand-embroidered dresses). Special: Fiesta de las Luminarias, Friday-Sunday
nights December 4-20, with 6,000 candlelit brown bags in the tradition of lighting the way for the Holy Family. thesanantonioriverwalk.com
