Christmas at San Felipe de Austin

Join staff and volunteers at San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site for Texas history and holiday crafts to celebrate the Christmas season.

Christmas was much different for settlers in Mexican Texas than what most of us experience in our modern lives. The day’s activities will be aimed at history lovers and families alike. They include a short presentation on religion and reflections on the Christmas season in Mexican Texas; readings of “Legend of the Poinsettia” and poinsettia papercraft activities for kids; and refreshments at the outdoor kitchen in the Villa de Austin historic townsite exhibit.

Be sure to also join us as we participate in the San Felipe town parade prior to the event.
