Lights Spectacular, Hill Country Style. 

The season begins with turning on the lights the Friday night after Thanksgiving each year, followed by the "Lighted Hooves and Wheels Parade" on the Saturday night following Thanksgiving. The lights are on each night until January 1st.

Proclaimed as "the Centerpiece of one of the biggest shows on the Texas Hill Country Regional Christmas Lighting Trail"  by Southern Living magazine with a courthouse that "shines brighter than the star of Bethlehem". The entire town is bathed in lights with 100,000 lights twinkling on the Blanco County Courthouse while Pedernales Electric Coop’s Headquarters on Ave F boasts a lighted forest of over 1 million lights. Hayrides and carriage rides are available throughout the season.

Each weekend, the Garden Club fills the Courthouse with Christmas ornaments and holiday crafts for purchase.   Johnson City is located at the crossroads of the Hill Country.
