Lighting of the Courthouse

The spectacular courthouse lighting ceremony and fireworks Friday, November, 29th at 6:30 pm kicks off the festival with more than a million lights which fill three city blocks including the Courthouse,
City Park and Pedernales Electric Co-op headquarters. |
Chuckwagon Food CourtNovember 27 & 28, 2020
During the opening weekend evenings, local social clubs and non-profit organizations operate special holiday food booths in the "Food Court" area on the Courthouse square. Traditional offerings at the booths include funnel cake, hamburgers, sausage on a stick, corn on the cob, fajitas, and my favorite, chili cheese fries (yummy!). This is a fund raising opportunity for local organizations (from Little League to Lions) to support their activities during the year. They start opening around 5 pm and make a great place to stop for dinner.
