On Friday and Saturday children pick up a passport at one of the participating downtown shops in the morning, then walk Main Street looking for Santa hidden at the businesses on the list. Finished passports can be dropped off to enter a drawing for a child's dream gift basket (drop-off spot to be announced). The organizers encourage everyone to come in ugly Christmas sweaters, silly Christmas pajamas or Whoville hairdos. The same weekend also has a $30 Cookie Crawl, an ice-carving show at The Shoppes at 222 on Saturday, and free Christmas Market Days at Main Plaza on Saturday and Sunday. ## Similar picks in San Antonio - [Downtown Lighting & Santa's Arrival — New Braunfels](https://grassyknees.com/san-antonio/activities/downtown-lighting-and-santa-s-arrival-new-braunfels--listing-8054726561594207c2fa7336) — Fri, Nov 20 · 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Main Plaza, downtown New Braunfels · Free · checked Oct 20.
