56th Annual Tree Lighting

Enjoy this special tradition started 56 years ago by President and Mrs. Johnson.

Join the Texas Hill Country Community for this special tradition started over 50 years ago by President and Mrs. Johnson.

Enjoy carolers, a live nativity, Santa Claus, refreshments, and of course, the spectacular tree lighting.

There will be refreshments and activities near Park Headquarters. Then journey back in time and visit the Sauer-Beckmann Farm at dusk.  Experience a lamp-lit tour of the farm decked out for Weinachten and sample traditional German Christmas cookies.

We will be hosting a food drive for the Fredericksburg Food Pantry to bring any canned goods and non-perishable items you'd like to donate!

Festivities start at the LBJ State Park Visitor Center at 5:30pm.

The Sauer-Beckmann Farm will close at noon this day and reopen after the tree lighting ceremony.
