There is no denying that the pandemic has made this year’s holiday festivities very different, as people attempt to self-isolate and prevent the spread during the winter months. Yet, pandemic or not, there is one tradition that many people can still safely enjoy this year: holiday lights displays, which have fortunately always been outdoors. If you’re interested in visiting San Antonio’s best displays, here are 3 of our favorite options.
