This free event includes activities for the entire family including live music, dancers, candlemaking, carriage rides, game booths, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus and more. 

Children need to bring their “wish lists” for Santa Claus (pictures are a nominal fee) and parents are encouraged to bring their own cameras for pictures with Santa. Plus, enjoy free hot dogs, popcorn, hot chocolate, and other refreshments, activities and snacks.  

Enjoy performances throughout the evening. Numerous booths will feature activities and crafts for children from cookie decorating to candlemaking.

The Round Rock Public Library hosts a puppet show and has Christmas ornament crafts, letters to Santa and a craft sale.

Christmas Family Night is organized by the City of Round Rock and made possible thanks to the help of community groups and organizations that donate their services to offer this fun and free event to the community.
