First-ever Tree Lighting on Houston Street
First-Ever Tree Lighting On Houston Street
“The lighting of the tree is the kick-off to my favorite
time of the year and I want everyone to share in the magic with me.”
--Chef Mark Bohanan
Houston Street
Holiday Lighting: Tuesday, December 7 at 5:30 p.m.
in the
Bohanan’s courtyard
A
20 foot Noble Fir direct from Elgin, TX will take center stage when Chef Mark
Bohanan throws the switch and brings the holiday tree to life at 5:30 p.m.
on Tuesday, December 7 in the Bohanan’s courtyard The public is invited to
attend this festive kick-off to the season, which will include complimentary
cider and cookies, and enjoy the sparkle that is the Holidays on Houston St.
No
ordinary tree, this magnificent holiday centerpiece is one of three trees hand
cut and selected for Texas Governor Rick Perry. It was shipped directly from
the Elgin Tree Farm to Bohanan’s, where it will be brought to life with more
than 5,000 sparkling white lights, sparkling ornaments, and yards of “fiesta
beads” garland.
Bohanan’s
holiday tree features colorful San Antonio and Mexican icons. It is bedecked
with jewel-toned velvet sombreros, bright strings of beads to evoke Fiesta and
an array of sequined ornaments that add just the right amount of holiday
sparkle.
The
elegantly decorated tree provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying the
holidays with family and friends at Bohanan’s, as you sip a Jack’s Apple or
another of the specialty holiday cocktails featured at the Bar at Bohanan’s.
It
is all part of the Holidays on Houston Street, where more than 45,000 lights
illuminate this historic part of downtown San Antonio, creating holiday magic
at it’s best.
Kids (and kids at heart), are invited to participate in even more
festive fun, as as Bohanan’s teams up with the San Antonio Children’s Museum,
H-E-B, and Downtown Alliance for activities on Houston Street on Thursday,
December 16 from 5-7 p.m. Holiday cookies, hot chocolate and apple cider, will be available for the children in
the Courtyard and Bohanan’s, while mom and dad enjoy seasonal
"adult" beverages from the Bar at Bohanan's.
