1. A Synchronized Light Show
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably remember the amazing synchronized light show that made the Hinojosa family (earworm alert!) of Boerne nationally famous. This year, the Hinojosa family is coming to the Old West Christmas Light Fest and putting their musical talents to use at the ranch in an all-new Old West Light Show! Come witness, in person, this season’s viral sensation and listen for some local musical talents included in the playlist.
2. Laser Tag in the Lights
Do you know some grumpy teens (or grownups) who think they’re “too cool” to go look at Christmas lights with the family? Well, lure them to Old West Christmas Light Fest this year with the promise of an epic laser tag battle among the lights! What better way to burn off those cookies and take out your pent-up holiday aggression than a wholesome game of laser tag in the glow of Christmas lights?
