Deadline approaching for Christmas on Mercer Street

Dripping Springs, Texas – It’s almost time to ring in the holiday season with Christmas On Mercer, one of Dripping Springs’ favorite traditions. This year, the event will be shining in all its holiday glory as it celebrates its 17th year on Saturday, December 4.

Hosted by the City of Dripping Springs and Dripping Springs Lions Club, the downtown festivities will feature an old-fashioned holiday celebration on Mercer Street from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with live music and entertainment, arts and crafts booths, kid’s games and activities, a trackless train and pony rides, photos with Santa Claus, and a festive selection of food and drinks. The annual Lighting of the Tree will be held at the Triangle at 6:00 pm.

Event sponsors are needed. Sponsorships are available at various levels of support. All the money raised will pay for the event or go back to the community through various Lions Club programs.

Admission to Christmas On Mercer is free due to the many sponsors and donors who generously provide festival security, sanitation, barricades, trash pick-up, and other services for the event.

Interested food and arts and crafts vendors can download applications with instructions on the City’s website to reserve a 10’ x 10’ booth. The booth fee is $100. Electricity is provided at request.

Sponsorship and vendor application forms can be found at cityofdrippingsprings.com or go directly to christmasonmercer.com.

Turn in your sponsorship forms soon, so you receive maximum publicity for your generosity. For specific questions, reach out to the Lions Club at dslionsclub@gmail.com.
