What would the holidays be without Wassailfest? A New Braunfels tradition, this celebration of cinnamon-y goodness will feature music, shopping, twinkling holiday lights, and (of course) plenty of (free!) wassail.

Watch Gruene light up for the holidays! On December 1 in everyone's favorite little historic district, Cowboy Kringle will ride into town on horseback and perform the honors. Celebrate with live music, festival food and wine. Take the opportunity to spend the evening enjoying Gruene’s cozy restaurants and local boutiques!

On the second Friday of December, the sounds of Christmas will waft through the streets of Downtown New Braunfels. The singing includes traditional Christmas carols in English, German and Spanish, as well as special music from Comal County Schools and local musicians.
