Experience the magic of Christmas in the idyllic Village of Salado during its 62nd Annual Salado Christmas Stroll historically held the first two weekends of December and presented by the Salado Chamber of Commerce.
The weekends of the Stroll will kick off with the Parade at 6 p.m. The parade will begin at the intersection of Main St. and Royal and make its way to the Salado Civic Center.
Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 9-11: dozens of beautifully decorated boutiques open their doors for you to enjoy Late Night Shopping Fridays and Saturdays until 9 p.m. (or later) and Sundays until 5 p.m. Salado’s Boutiques will be well stocked with a variety of unique merchandise, so you are sure to find something for everyone on your Christmas list. Make your way from shop to shop with ease as you sip hot cocoa strolling down Main Street’s lighted sidewalks. Horse Drawn Carriage Rides will guide you down Main Street most weekends as you take in all the lights, sounds and warmth of the season.
Have you been naughty or nice? Visit Santa both weekends at The Stagecoach Restaurant. Times can be found on salado.com or the Stroll Facebook Page.
