Christmas Stroll – 2021 | Hello Georgetown

Christmas season coming to Georgetown as the community gears up for the 40th annual Christmas Stroll!

“Discover the magic of the season at the Annual Georgetown Christmas Stroll,” the Downtown Georgetown Association said. “Kick off your holiday season with some jolly, family-friendly fun at the 40th annual Christmas Stroll held in historic downtown Georgetown, Texas.”

The annual event includes a variety of activities for people of all ages! Visitors can enjoy live entertainment, shopping, dining and more during the two day event.

“Christmas Stroll has something for everyone,” the Downtown Georgetown Association said. “If you love shopping, you’ll love the fine selection of shops in the downtown area and, of course, the streets are filled with more than 150 artisan, craft, clothing and jewelry vendors. Travel back in time to experience the life 2000 years ago in Bethlehem Village, including a live manger.”
