Christmas on the Square - December 12

The Burnet County Courthouse has a new Christmas lighting look!  Come visit this holiday season and see the "dripping" icicles and candlestick lampposts.  Burnet, Texas is getting ready to celebrate the annual Christmas on the Square on Saturday, December 12. There will be performances by local entertainers such as the Burnet Gunfighters, a Christmas parade around the square, shops and restaurants open late, a visit from Santa, Main Street Bethlehem, and an old fashioned Fort Croghan Christmas. 

Come enjoy a fun weekend in Burnet at The Verandas Guest House any time during December.  We'll be decking our halls and trimming our tree, too!
