Winter Holiday Traditions | Kids Out and About San Antonio

Winter Holiday Traditions


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/06/2025
Celebrate the holidays the old-fashioned way by hand-crafting items families might have been made on the historic ranches that became Government Canyon. Learn about and make evergreen wreaths, hand-dipped candles, and other traditional holiday toys and crafts at this come-and-go-event. The Discovery Trail would be great for a winter's hike before or after.
