To get the community in the holiday spirits, there is a full weekend of festivities dedicated to spreading holiday cheer in Seguin. The three-day festivities start with the Holiday Stroll Parade hosted by the Seguin Parks Department on Thursday, November 29 at 6:30 p.m. Following the parade is Seguin’s favorite holiday tradition, Sip n’ Stroll on Friday, Dec 30 and popular by demand, Saturday’s North Pole Stroll on Dec. 1.
On Friday, November 30, stroll through the historic downtown district with mugs in hand to sample homemade hot cocoas from over 35 participating merchants. Christy Hopper, Main Street Assistant stated, “This is the largest number of Chocolatier participants for the Sip n’ Stroll evening. It is an event that continues to be a hit each year in our community.”
Downtown merchants will stay open late from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. so you can stroll and shop local. In addition to the cocoa and shopping, there will be performances, pictures with Santa, a live nativity and a wagon ride. This year’s mug features a painting of the Magnolia Hotel by Dina Scales. You can purchase your Sip n’ Stroll mug for $15 at participating downtown merchants or from the bandstand the night of the event unless sold out. Arrive early to get one before they are sold out.
The fun continues Saturday morning with Jingle Bell 5K starting at Central Park and goes along the Walnut Springs Trail.
