Annual family holiday event with crafts, snow globe making, photos with the Green Grouch, face painting, a bracelet bar and the official tree lighting.
A Who-Liday Holiday returns to Domain NORTHSIDE on Saturday, November 21, an annual family event presented by Texas Children's Austin. The afternoon takes over the NORTHSIDE Lawn, the one across from Apple, and fills it with holiday activities for kids and families. It's the kind of day that works whether you're there for an hour or the whole afternoon.
The activities run throughout the day: photos with the Green Grouch and Max the dog, snow globe making, holiday crafts, and letter writing to Santa. There's face painting and a bracelet bar, and vendor pop-ups scattered around the lawn. It's a lot of separate things to drift between, so you can pick and choose what your kids actually enjoy rather than following a set schedule.
The day builds toward the official lighting of the season's tree, which happens at 6 PM. That's the main event the whole afternoon leads up to, so if you're coming for the lighting, you'll want to be there by then.
