Kick off the holiday season with us at Hotel Contessa’s First Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony along the iconic San Antonio River Walk. Join family, friends, and the community as we light our beautiful Christmas tree for the very first time on our River Patio.

Enjoy a festive performance by the CAST Schools Student Band Ensemble, holiday ambiance, and sparkling décor as we welcome the magic of the season together. This event is free and open to the public, and all are invited to share in this joyful new tradition.

Following the ceremony, guests are welcome to stay for the evening’s pre-parade festivities leading into the Ford Holiday River Parade, one of San Antonio’s most beloved holiday celebrations.
