Pre-Show Holiday Market

The 10th anniversary winter wonderland production takes place at the magnificent Lila Cockrell Theater, located amidst the famous San Antonio Riverwalk’s famed holiday light display! The fun starts from the moment guests enter the theatre and discover themselves in a festive holiday market where they can browse the extensive selection of dress-up items, including tutus and Sugarplum Fairy wands, Mouse King swords, as well as home décor including ornaments and, of course, nutcrackers. Key cast members from princes to queens, and fairies, along with Santa himself, will be on hand for photos on a first come first served basis. And, because no holiday is complete without treats, there will be plenty of holiday fare for famished families to include cocoa, holiday cookies and other seasonal favorites along with hot dogs, mini-burgers, and popcorn. The holiday market opens one hour prior to showtimes.
