Celebrate the Holiday Spirit at Hotel Contessa

As the holiday season approaches, Hotel Contessa on the stunning San Antonio River Walk is set to usher in festive cheer with its inaugural Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Scheduled for November 28, this event aligns perfectly with the city’s beloved Ford Holiday River Parade, promising an evening filled with joy, music, and seasonal delights.

An Event for Everyone

This enchanting celebration is designed for guests of all ages, offering a variety of activities that cater to families and friends gathering to kick off the holiday festivities. A complimentary tree lighting ceremony starts at 6:30 PM, where attendees can enjoy excellent views of the sparkling lights as mariachis, a holiday DJ, and student musicians set the festive mood. Alongside hot cocoa and holiday treats, there’s an opportunity to snap photos with Santa, making it a celebration filled with cherished moments.

Thanks to the hotel’s prime location, guests can soak up the magic of the Ford Holiday River Parade from the comfort of the hotel’s River Terrace. With general, front-row, and VIP seating options available, there's something for everyone. The party features culinary delights, including a holiday brunch and unique cocktails, with local vendors showcasing their crafts and goodies.

Future Events Beyond the Tree Lighting

But the fun doesn’t end with the tree lighting! On December 6, guests can join the “Texas Twinkle” Holiday Brunch, featuring a delicious menu with festive flair, live music, and a chance to explore a holiday market on the patio. Moreover, a fun “Cookies and Cocktails” workshop will allow guests to get hands-on in creating festive treats, guided by experts. These are just a couple of the culinary events that highlight why San Antonio is a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.
