Tips & Advice
- Head to the Main Stage at Bandera's lower lot for the headliner, the Beer & Wine Garden, the Fireman's Grill and a vendor fair together.
- Shop both vendor fairs, at PCH & Marguerite and PCH & Dahlia, for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts from local exhibitors.
- Buy Opportunity Drawing tickets ahead of time, since the winner doesn't need to be there and tickets also make good client gifts.
- Wear comfortable shoes, because the walk runs along the PCH sidewalks with live bands playing at businesses all through the village.
- Businesses wanting a vendor space should register early, because exhibit spaces at the fair sell out fast.
Special Events & Promotions
- Opportunity Drawing for local prizes like dinners, hotel stays, harbor cruises and spa packages; drawing the week of Dec 9, winner need not be present
- Headliner band Pinch Me plays the Main Stage at Bandera's parking lot (PCH & Marguerite)
