Holiday Movies in the Park at Plaza de Valero

Holiday Movies in the Park brings a cozy double‑feature movie night to Plaza de Valero, the community park space by The Alamo, on Saturday, December 20, 2025. Families can spread out on the lawn with blankets and lawn chairs to watch Elf and The Muppet Christmas Carol on the pavilion stage’s big screen, all in the glow of downtown’s holiday lights.

This free event is part of the Alamo’s broader Christmas programming and offers a relaxed way to wind down the season with two beloved family classics. With the Alamo, River Walk, and nearby restaurants just steps away, it’s easy to make a full evening out of the outing.
