Christmas along the Corridor
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and there’s no better place to celebrate than the SH 130 Corridor.
From the biggest and brightest of all Central Texas holiday celebrations at Circuit of the Americas to the small-town traditions of Lockhart and Seguin, our communities offer family-friendly holiday entertainment for everyone.
Here’s what you need to know:
Circuit of the Americas
The 2nd Annual Winter Wonderland at the Circuit opened Nov. 23. The holiday carnival features the H-E-B Tunnel of Lights, Santa’s Workshop, portraits with Santa, camel rides, ice skating, a Ferris Wheel, a carousel, a giant maze and more.
