Events - 18 Dec 14

The annual choreographed Christmas Light Show has been around for several years now. Each year something is added to the show and the lights are configured differently and more extravagantly. The show has become an Austin tradition that some are saying rival the Trail of Lights at Zilker Park!

In a tour-de-force performance, award-winning actor Martin Burke is back by popular demand, playing all 37 characters from the beloved holiday film It’s a Wonderful Life.

The Blue Genie Art Bazaar (BGAB) features thousands of handmade artwork, jewelry and gifts from more than 135 Austin area artists. In addition to shopping, there will be a number of special art and music events throughout the nearly four-week show. BGAB is a free, family-friendly event, organized as an open shopping experience where shoppers can browse in a hassle-free environment with centralized checkout. Light foods, beverages and full bar also available.

The Austin Symphony is excited to announce a brand new program this holiday season that will bring free music to all Austinites. Christmas in the Community is a series of twelve concerts held throughout the city of Austin featuring different ensembles of the orchestra playing familiar holiday music.

Hot music, fine art and cold beer make the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar the place where Austin shops in the giving season. The show is actually two events in one: an art fair and music festival with a vibrant community-driven vibe. Visitors can explore an amazing array of handmade items from 160+ artists while enjoying live local music and sips from a full bar. It all adds up to a fun authentic Austin experience.

Benold’s Jewelers, one of Austin’s oldest independent jewelers, will host a special “Shop Like a Wise Man” event including hors d’oeuvres and a martini bar with Austin’s Tito’s Vodka.

Tapestry’s unique and highly popular take on the holiday classic. With the live music of our incredible jazz ensemble led by Masumi Jones (Austin’s “best drummer” 2014) , this one-of-a-kind evening includes all aspects of Tapestry Dance Company and Academy including the professional company, Visions In Rhythm (pre-professional company), Tapestry Too! (TDC’s Amateur Adult Company) and members of the children’s academy.
