Get ready to immerse yourself in holiday magic at Natural Bridge Caverns! This year, they’re bringing back their beloved Christmas at the Caverns event, transforming the caverns into a winter wonderland from December 7th to 23rd. Prepare for a dazzling array of activities that will delight visitors of all ages.
A Symphony of Holiday Sounds and Festive Lights
The heart of the celebration lies within the cavern itself, where Caroling in the Cavern fills the air with heartwarming melodies. Local and regional performers will grace the stunning Discovery Cavern, their voices echoing through the natural acoustics, surrounded by the breathtaking stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone formations. This beloved tradition often sells out, making it a must-see for San Antonians.
Adding to the musical excitement, the Live Underground Concert on December 20th will feature Grammy-nominated artist Jeremy McComb. Prepare to be captivated by his storytelling talents and enjoy access to all above-ground events, including the enchanting Trail of Lights.
Speaking of enchantment, the festive Trail of Lights walk will guide you through a whimsical journey of beautifully illuminated holiday scenes and characters. Hundreds of illuminated Live Oaks will line your path, creating a magical atmosphere enhanced by enchanting music. This easy one-third-of-a-mile walk culminates in Discovery Village under a spectacular 30-foot-tall Christmas tree.
Winter Fun for the Whole Family
For a touch of winter fun, head to the Discovery Village Synthetic Skating Rink, a perfect spot for families to glide into the holiday spirit. This activity is free for children aged 3-11. And, in keeping with the Caverns’ ranching heritage, the Reindeer Round-Up will entertain kids with a search for Santa’s missing reindeer. Gather around the expanded s’mores campfire area and enjoy the warmth of the evening while indulging in delicious treats.
Giving Back to the Community
Throughout December, Natural Bridge Caverns continues their tradition of supporting the New Braunfels and San Antonio Food Bank.
