Wassail Fest Nov. 30 (Saturday)

Author: admin

The annual (and fantastic!) Wassail Fest is here again, and will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday November 30, in downtown Nacogdoches.

This is also the official day for “Small Business Saturday” so it’s sure to be an extra-special day in downtown Nacogdoches.  Local business owners will offer non-alcoholic wassail made from their favorite (probably secret) recipes and visitors will have the chance to vote for the People’s Choice award.

There will also be great deals for local shoppers, so vote with your feet!  Stroll the magical downtown square, with more than 3 million Christmas lights twinkling, enjoy a tasty hot drink and support your local economy while getting some of your holiday shopping completed.

To have your event or local business advertised for free on Shangriladoches, too, please contact me.
