Boerne is celebrating the holiday season with Christmas decorations along the Hill Country Mile. The city has released an official guide highlighting the top spots to visit. Visitors can park at the Boerne Visitors Center or along Main Street to view the festive displays, which are organized by the city and local retailers.
Over at the nationally renowned Jones’ CHRISTmas Ranch, which snagged second place on "The Great Christmas Light Fight" back in 2020, the spectacle has scaled up since relocating north of Boerne. With an astonishing 3.5 million lights dancing to music, visitors can feast their eyes and ears from November 8 through December 31, tuning into 94.5 FM as they drive through the property – tickets available at the gate as noted by Visit Boerne.
For a cost-free lighting experience, head to the First Baptist Church, where 'Boerne Bright' illuminates the night with over 200,000 lights set to holiday tunes. A secured playground keeps the little ones happy, while adults can revel in seasonal warmth with offered hot cocoa.
The Christmas Lights at the Crumbling Castle, nestled between Boerne and Comfort, offers a lavish display to drive through from November 22 to December 31. To sweeten the deal, use the coupon code "CASTLE2024" online for a neat $5 discount, per details from Visit Boerne's guide. And not just any drive-through affair, the Old West Christmas Light Fest brings the season alive with a lit-up western town complete with Santa greetings, laser tag, marshmallow roasting, and even a mechanical bull. Advanced tickets are up for grabs online.
