Come join Johnson City as we celebrate Lights Spectacular!! Lights Spectacular begins the weekend of November 24th and 25 and runs through January 1.
Opening night (the Friday following Thanksgiving) starts at 5:30 pm when the many locals, guests and visitors gather at the historic downtown Courthouse Square and are treated to Christmas carols from a local choir. Then begins the ceremonial Lights Spectacular featured event, complete with a crowd based countdown, that ends with flipping the light switch at 6:30 pm to turn on the holiday lights at the Courthouse. Santa will be there, as well as fireworks.
The Methodist Church produces their highly acclaimed Blanco County Living Nativity Christmas pageant every half hour on the first two weekends of December, Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 6:30 pm. This pageant, nearly 50 years old, is a major attraction on the Hill Country Regional Christmas Lighting Trail, drawing people by the bus-load from the big cities. Between performances, free refreshments are served inside, where more than 100 nativity sets from around the world are on display. Bleacher seating. Children are welcome to pet the animals after each show.
The lights are on every evening from 6:00 pm (except opening night) to midnight, from the opening Friday night until January 1.
