Sip, Stroll and Shop Small Biz in the Old West
Everyone knows that Old West Christmas Light Fest is the best place to see outdoor Christmas lights in the San Antonio area. But what you might not know is that, nestled among the brightly lit, festive Old West saloons and Trading Post of Enchanted Springs Ranch is more fun, games, food, live entertainment and shopping than you can shake a marshmallow-roasting stick at! (Wait, did we mention the s’mores-making around the campfire at Old West Christmas Light Fest?)
Back in true Old West days, folks would hitch up their wagons and come into town to do their shopping. Step forward in time and Old West Christmas Light Fest mirrors that feeling: an array of local vendors offering everything you need to make the holiday bright. Stroll around the Silver Spur Saloon and visit the various vendor booths while you sip on your hot cocoa or adult beverage. Pro tip: Jump start your holiday shopping while the kids are playing laser tag in the nearby forest of trees emblazoned with twinkling Christmas lights and everybody wins!!
Shopping local is the way to go this holiday season and Old West Christmas Light Fest features all local artisans and business owners. While you might recognize some of your favorite vendors from years past, we’re honored to include an array of new vendors who have joined the exciting, festive shopping experience at Old West Christmas Light Fest.
