Have you ever wondered why the holiday lights along the River Walk are taken down and put back up every year instead of just leaving them up year-round?
– The lighting of the San Antonio River Walk every year for the holiday season is a decades-old holiday tradition.carolers crooning down the river.
There are 2,250 strings with 100,000 lights that light up the towering bald cypress trees that line the River Walk every year. Paula Schechter, director of marketing at the San Antonio River Walk Association, and Joeseph Cruz, Superintendent of River Walk Operations, previously talked to KSAT about the annual holiday tradition of lighting up the River Walk, which started in 1974.
Two workers, a husband and wife team, prepare the lights starting in July and deliver them to the city by mid-September. They test each light strand, replace bulbs as needed and then prep the strands for “throwing” in the trees, Schechter explained. “We continue testing the lights in November, depending on what kind of weather - high winds, storms, etc. - that occurs, and complete an entire test run the week of Thanksgiving,” Cruz said.
