Traditionally, the city of San Antonio takes down the holiday lights along the River Walk on the first weekend of the new year.

However, to continue to shed brightness after all the negativity that’s unfolded over the past year, the city has decided to keep the lights up until Valentine’s Day.

All River Walk visitors are asked to wear masks and practice social distancing while observing the lights.
