The Junior League of Austin’s A Christmas Affair returns November 13-22, bringing holiday shopping and family activities to Austin for its 2026 Season of Light. The annual event spans two weekends and features more than 200 merchants, children’s activities, photos with Santa, special parties, and seasonal experiences for all ages.
Proceeds from ticket sales and purchases support The Junior League of Austin’s community programs, including Coats for Kids, FIT (Food In Tummies), and KICS (Kids In Cool Shoes). These initiatives help address local needs, from providing warm clothing to supporting food access and supplying shoes for children.
The event offers families an opportunity to shop for holiday gifts, enjoy seasonal activities, and support community programs while taking part in a longstanding Austin holiday tradition.
