The cities of Pearsall and Dilley will start the Christmas holiday season with parades, tree lightings, and a festival.
Both cities will host their annual Christmas celebrations on Friday, December 6, each running through the main street in their respective communities.
Pearsall celebrates its tenth annual Night of Lights with “A Magical Christmas” themed parade, followed by the lighting of the Christmas tree at City Hall.
Following the tree lighting, attendees are invited to enjoy arts and crafts and food vendors, live performances, and entertainment from a disc jockey.
