👉Plan Your Boerne Week

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. This is The Boerne Life, the newsletter that is excited to launch into the Christmas season. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves… let’s focus on what’s coming this week. 👇

THE JONES CHRISTMAS RANCH ADDS INDOOR ATTRACTION ON WEEKENDS

Jones Christmas Ranch is back for the season, and they’ve added a new Indoor Christmas Market that turns the annual drive-thru light show into even more of a holiday outing. The light display is still the star — millions of synchronized lights you can enjoy while tuning in to 94.5 FM — but the indoor market adds treats, small shops, kids’ crafts, and Santa visits on select weekends.

Photo spots and coloring are free, and season pass holders get two drinks and candy canes. Other activities and items inside the market have separate costs, but it’s a fun extra stop, especially for families with little ones.

Bonus: Want a free pass? Join The Boerne Life Plus and get a free pass on us while supplies lasts!
