From Christmas parades in Round Top and Pflugerville to Christmas carols in Downtown Austin, here's a look at some of the festive fun from this weekend.
Fayette County"If you look at the entries in the parade you'll see the creativity that comes out of Round Top," said Jamie Moreau, Justice of the Peace-elect for Fayette County Pct. 2.governor Rick Perry serving as grand marshal.
"People have been preparing for this for lots of weeks," said Perry. "Kids to folks my age, the elderly that are here, and everything in between…Huge crowd already and beautiful weather, so a perfect Texas night."Meanwhile, in Downtown Austin, people spent the evening singing Christmas carols, a tradition that's lasted more than three decades.
"I love looking out into the crowd and seeing everyone, every age, and every background, all singing in unison, and it's really beautiful and inspiring," said Erin Geisler, KUT/KUTX Public Radio marketing and communication manager. The holiday stroll, sing along and tree lighting is a joint effort by the Downtown Austin Alliance and KUT/KUTX Public Radio. The event drew about five thousand people with vendors, live music, and even Santa himself.
"It evolves every year and gets better every year," said Vanessa Olson, director of communications for the Downtown Austin Alliance. "Everyone is smiling, everyone is happy, everyone is wearing their festive attire."
