This year, Concho Christmas Celebration celebrates 29 years of delighting visitors from the Concho Valley, and across the State of Texas and nation, with the dazzling Tour of Lights along the beautiful Concho River.
The 2022 Concho Christmas Celebration River Light Tour soft opening date is Friday, December 2nd, with the tour running every night through Saturday, December 31st. The Tour will be open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. A suggested cash donation of $8 per vehicle is greatly appreciated, and families are invited to walk, run, bike, or drive the Tour.
The Tour of Lights has blossomed from a simple walking tour to a multi-mile journey along the Concho River, featuring more than three million lights and more than seventy-eight life-size Christmas Greeting Cards.
The afternoon of December 3rd will commence with the Annual Community Tree Lighting Ceremony, featuring the Twin Mountain Tonesmen and the San Angelo Community Band. The ceremony takes place at the corner of Concho and Chadbourne, and will begin with prelude music at 5:00 p.m. Immediately following the ceremony, guests are invited to remain downtown to enjoy the Lights of Christmas Parade, starting at 6 p.m. The parade begins at the Shannon employee parking lot on N.
