Waco Wonderland Parade, Mistletoe Market, Snow Tube Hill & MORE!
The 9th annual Waco Wonderland festival returns to downtown Waco’s Heritage Square! Make plans to join the festivities today beginning with a PARADE this morning at 10 a.m. along Austin Avenue beginning at 11th Street.
After the parade, wander downtown for more fun, like the snow tube hill and Santa! Make plans to shop the Mistletoe Market, which will feature local merchants and vendors selling everything from art and jewelry to clothes and gifts. Also, downtown merchants will offer specials all throughout December!
The community is also encouraged to visit downtown all month for shopping and to experience the light display made possible by the Waco Downtown Public Improvement District. For a more detailed list of Wonderland activities, click HERE.
