The Christmas Stroll is Brenham's way to kick off the Christmas Season with sights and sounds that delight young and old alike. This family fun event kicks off with the lighting of the Courthouse Square Christmas trees and is followed by the Downtown Parade of Lights. This light-filled, old-fashioned parade winds through the streets of downtown and finishes with a special appearance from Santa Clause arriving on a fire truck. After the parade, stroll the downtown shops for unique gifts and warm cider and cookies. The Farmer's Market will be open with mouth watering treats, handmade crafts, and other vendors.
